Hell, I have more time than money and like messing around with old bikes. I see all kinds of postings about how "I got this Zukiama Peerless handmade of unobtanium by one-armed singaporian virgin budist nuns in a French convent form the dumpster!" What dumpster is this? It sure aint MY dumpster. Or any trash can in my neighborhood. Where do you guys look? When do you prowl? What is the technique? What are the tactics?

Also, where are these "Thrift Stores" I keep hearing about? We have some "second hand" stores around but all they have is old cloths and baby toys.

Finally, how come Boston doesn;t have a "bike co-op"?
