What to do with an unwanted frame?
I found an old 72 National Mixte frame and parts I found in the attic, any Ideas what to do with them? I can't seem to find any Co-ops in my are and I cant stand the thought of just throwing it in the trash.

Maybe someone has a frame you're interested in? Can't hurt to look.

I have had good luck selling donor frames locally on C/L. I tend to take pics of several frames at once, call it a frame-athon, or whatever. They don't sell for much, typically $25 to $50. A mixte frame in decent shape would attract good interest. You could do the same with the parts, just sell the whole box for xx. Or endure the hassle of ebay.

"Frame Toss"... Gather a few neighborhood kids, and see who can throw it the furthest..

If you find no takers, I've cut some damaged frames to make windchimes from the tubes.
Nice conversation piece.
