I'm looking for a 56-58 frame that I could build as a conversion or a complete bike in that size ON THE CHEAP!
There is much more to the story that I won't get into here but the bottom line is that she had her bike destroyed for all the wrong reasons, if anything she had it destroyed for being a good friend and I want to help get her back on the road ASAP.
****ty break, that's one hell of a mess they made of that.
The only 'spares' I have are all too small. I have 3 frames (two are built with what they came with) - all 19" - one Pooj, totally bare w/ fork (no BB and it's French threaded - so $$$) - I have a Bianchi, lower-end I'm told and a Gardin that's in a bit of rough shape, but complete. You're welcome to any parts off these for zilch or a very minimal cost, though I don't think they're terribly good quality - I'll provide pics if it sounds useful though.
Try CBN as well, those guys have a bunch of stuff that they maybe able to let go for the price of air or a little more.
Saw an ad on CL - 512 Euclid @ 8am tomorrow for some parts/tools from a wholesale closing... I'm probably gonna go looksee.
As for the GI Joe vids, this one has to be my fave:
