i just got a raleigh usa grand prix 531 reynolds .....the tawian ones with shimano gears dia compe brakes and sr cranks and hubs with ukai rims.....im pretty sure thats all fairly good stuff and it was only $50....light and fast......just needed a new seat and i found a nice velo road seat at goodwill outlet today that matched perfect....im a happy boy..........the fuji was $100 but was worth it...a little big for me but i can deal with it...the raleigh fits me perfect...and my $40 target conversion including new parts was still under $100
i have a wire feed welder i used to make the 2 bents but tall bikes scare me.....i can do stilts tho.....i'll keep an eye open for 2 tall junkers.....2 small frames wouldnt look right for your size....you'll need an extra tall bike

I got a vintage huffy road bike that definitely needs some work but it weighs way too much to be worth converting. I also don't trust the frame. But it is too nice to throw out.
I am not sure what I am going to do with it, but I will tell you when it is up for grabs if you want it.

Being a total geek when I come across anything that involves engineering, math, and bikes (along with literature, college football, and computers, but those help little) I started drawing up the only way a tall bike and condos can coexist. I will put them up tomorrow when I can get to a scanner.

That's why I share my room with my bike.

Why not get them when nobody is around. If there were dogs, I'd hear them when I zip by at 5am. The best time would be at around 2. You could get in through canterbury's driveway.

Why not bribe them for the bikes, then. Underpaid city workers are definitely in need of the money.

judging by what's running through it, I would say that's a landfill, though the city would probably be busy making that obvious and brag.

I am more of a builder than a destroyer, unless I must destroy to build but I prefer to be resourceful. Always have been.

I would definitely be expecting a decent trail there.
I figured out how to get there by bike. And watched them fly planes for awhile. Pretty much as far north as you can get east of us19

I'll do some research on the landfill.
Try searching "pinellas county gis viewer"
that thing tells everything.

Well, I think I am going to try and see if I can actually fight the insomnia and get some rest.
I will put up my beautifully done sketches when I get on later today.
