todays find, Panasonic found in trash
Here are a few pics of a Panasonic I found in the trash on my way from the bike shop, there were a few 20" BMX bikes in there too, but all junk, most of what you see on the frame is dirt! LOL! I know its not the best frame, but its OK =)

There's one of those chained up at my local Metro stop. It's been there forever and the chain and freewheel are starting to rust. How the heck do I get that?!

just be sure to try to find the orig owner, but again, if its been there for that long Im sure its been abandoned, a lot of the "yuppy" types here in Philly do it, they use bikes until they work their way up to buying a car, then leave the bikes right where they chained it up and forget about it

Here's what you do: roll up in a barebones pick-up truck. Get out wearing work clothes, a hard hat, a safety vest and carrying a metal clipboard. Walk over to the bike, refer to the clipboard several times, snap the lock with the boltcutters, throw the bike in the truck, and drive on. Piece of cake

by the way, can someone tell me the right spelling of the word "corse!?" did I spell it correctly? or is it coarse, as in sandpaper? or some other way? these little words screw me up! LOL!

Not only that, but I thought I was in charge of both photo demands and grammar retribution.

Def a tiny bit on the bent side, but nothing major, Ill fix it in a jiff, here are some pics of the frame, no bends,crinkles in the paint, natha, thank goodness!
the brown spot on the top tube is either dirt or brown paint.
