From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

Bikes: to many to list

My two cents to the OP: See if you can get your $25 back. Why?

- If the frame is all that is usable, then you paid $25 for an old frame PLUS the thrill of removing all of the parts. You can get a basic track frame for $100-200.
- It's safe to say that if the rest of the bike's components are rusted then the frame is likely rusted, too. Frames can rust from the inside-out.
- Since you will wind up building a bike from scratch, why not start with the frame you want? It's sort of like, "Hey, I got a great deal on a piece of land. It's in a sh*tty neighborhood, BUT I'm going to build a great house on it!" Then what do you have? A great house in a sh*tty neighborhood...when you could have built that same great house in a better neighborhood for $100 more.
I did not read the whole post but no need to be testy That being said I would have to agree with carleton
