pps. happy friday everyone!

Bikes that the TTC cuts up end on eBay under the police auctions; I got a great Kona Lava Dome Lite for my friend for 10 bucks from one of those auctions.

i havent ever (the apostrophe key is stuck, forgive me) been to the auction, but ive heard about it. i would like to think that usable parts have a second chance....
