That was the easy part . . . getting rid of my early purchases/mistakes without them ending up in the landfill/scrap yard, has turned out to be more difficult. I don't throw things away, I bring things home others did. I re-use/re-purpose to the point of absurdity, but I am starting to wonder if I am past that point? If no one wants them and I can't honestly recommend taking them, what am I saving?

• Local bike shop (does vintage) - Not interested (asked me to help with their beaters)
• Goodwill - Not interested (too scrappy/incomplete)
• Neighbor's/Friends - Not interested - Can't blame them, my honest advice would be get something else (in this buyers market)
• Co-op - don't have a "local" and from what I have found and others are reporting, likely not interested. Also don't have a way to transport, so unless the have a "guy with a mini-van" who makes pick-ups? I am out of luck
• I have also done Free and very cheap ads on Craigslist - No Interest - over a few months
• Multiple posts here on BF - Theoretically the perfect target audience?

C&V Beginner?
Art Project?
Welding practice?
Painting practice?

In honor of @AdventureManCO I am thinking I might add my "Jungle Junker" to the mix to sweeten the pot, but based on his experience trying to get rid of much nicer bikes, I can't see where it would make a difference?

If anyone in the LA area would like a pile of stuff FREE, come on down, I have additional parts I can dig up, I might give away or sell for a song, if you need them. Work or volunteer at a co-op, that would want these? Send me a message, maybe I can figure out a way to get them there?
