I doubt that was a road frame with the swing arm rear suspension. I hate that wheelset though. I'd be too concerned about riding light to enjoy a full squish ride.

I wonder if this can be legit.
A seller in the UK has these Zefal Rev 88 frame pumps in all sizes for $9.99, with free shipping. They've been up for some time now, and I just can't believe this can be legit. The shipping cost alone has to be over $10.

There's a guy (i think?) on Ebay that always posts a picture of his lovely significant other holding the item for sale while she's wearing a bikini. It's like a short circuit in my brain when I'm looking at wrenches and see a wrench in front of some woman's decolletage. It's not stupid if it works.

Maybe if you have a donor NR mech, you can put this thing back together for just ... $250?

Rear dropouts from a Trek DS
"Rear aluminum dropouts from a Trek DS Made for quick release disc brake hubs. Came from a wrecked bike. Part of the drive side chainstay might not be straight. This could be good for someone wanting to build a custom bike or trailer. Going to leave this for a few weeks before I decide to toss out."

A Giant Viscount Lambert?
https://madison.craigslist.org/bik/d...661450610.html
Seems like a lot of effort went into that restoration, I wonder if he'll ever sell it?

Anybody want to help this guy out? Doesn't require "brain skills" as much as it does patience and the ability to track your attempts.
