While we all want to save every bike we can, we need to decide how your time will be used best to create the most output.
May God bless you for helping.And yes, time is a factor, and in this low income" (America-wise) densely populated city I often I actually look for low cost bikes at Walmart (like a Hyper Bicycles 20" Boy's Spinner BMX Bike for $128 for some to purchase) which can be assembled in about 30 minutes, while many of the salvageable bikes can take much long. Has one yesterday., I thank God I can find good prices for me replacement parts.
