Can anyone help a sister in need?
A good friend of mine woke up this morning to THIS.
I'm looking for a 56-58 frame that I could build as a conversion or a complete bike in that size ON THE CHEAP!
There is much more to the story that I won't get into here but the bottom line is that she had her bike destroyed for all the wrong reasons, if anything she had it destroyed for being a good friend and I want to help get her back on the road ASAP.

So I've been hired to teach Baking this year at Timothy Eaton B.T.I. It's an interesting school to say the least. Most of the kids are special needs, identified disabilities and/or sent there because they couldn't do well enough academically to graduate from any other school. Should work out well, the job is until April, I'm covering a maternaty leave, and will be then be a stay at home dad. Nice location at Warden and Finch. Should be a good ride there and back each day. Going to have to teach the kids how to make those Egg Custard tarts.
Oh yes, there will be pie making, lots and lots of pie. And coffee cake too Dan.

Thanks again for last night B&T! That pie was top shelf! Nice seeing everyone again as well. Hope you made it home ok Dan. You look so out of sorts looking for a streetcar stop. It ain't right man. Yuo should at least have your own personal rickshaw so you can feel a lil more at home.

Brad did you make the pie filling from scratch? I may or not have dreamed of that pie last night. It was so good.

The only 'spares' I have are all too small. I have 3 frames (two are built with what they came with) - all 19" - one Pooj, totally bare w/ fork (no BB and it's French threaded - so $$$) - I have a Bianchi, lower-end I'm told and a Gardin that's in a bit of rough shape, but complete. You're welcome to any parts off these for zilch or a very minimal cost, though I don't think they're terribly good quality - I'll provide pics if it sounds useful though.
Try CBN as well, those guys have a bunch of stuff that they maybe able to let go for the price of air or a little more.
Saw an ad on CL - 512 Euclid @ 8am tomorrow for some parts/tools from a wholesale closing... I'm probably gonna go looksee.
As for the GI Joe vids, this one has to be my fave:

Thanks everybody!
It looks like Cam's Bianchi may have a very new and very happy home this weekend!
Keith, I'll get in touch with you tomorrow morning or early afternoon - we're trying to figure out what we can salvage and what we've got collectively in terms of all of my friend's parts bins and what we can chip in financially to get Jordan back on the road ASAP.
Does anyone have a flip flop rear wheel (f & r wheelset preferred) for sale?
Peace,
Matt

Operator: Those people PAY YOUR SALARY! Har. You must worship their point heads.
It infuriated all of us to no end, I am not really sure why though, I think we just wanted a few minutes to ourselves that early in the morning.
