Does that include the shipping from NC to CA and back to NC
It is interesting how much money you can put into a $10 basket case bicycle. It is also interesting how little Social Security thinks you need to live off of. The two make an interesting mathematical equation. I have very little money, on the other hand I have plenty of free time. Which is good because I am going to have to do this thing outdoors. Luckily I do have the skills needed, so that is not a problem.
It is like "The only bottom bracket that fits is the Phil Wood, we will install one for you for only $200". I could easily put $1000 into this build, but then I would have a real nice $100 bicycle. So my question, if that was not clear, is really about best practical durability for lowest practical price.
