I have about 6 bikes that aren't in working condition and one beater that just barely gets me there.

Frame: Schwinn Aluminum Comp (walmart), painted flat olive green with chipped off paint
wheels, bars, shifters, brakes from a broken Trek 820 (Bontrager)

The rear axle is somewhat bent, the wheel wants to fall off, I can use about 3 gears in the back and to use my small chain ring I have to use my foot as a derailer.

when I try to pedal hard the chain skips teeth and wants to send me into my bars teeth first.

Needless to say, I need a new bike really bad. The overall state of this bike has reduced my want to ride my bike thus reduced my leaving the house which is never good.
