Pickings for project bikes are pretty slim were I'm at In Fairplay Colorado so it looks like I will be going with a bike from my small death pile that was a free curb find a late 80's Motiv Stone Grindr mountain bike shaped object and a bunch of junk salvage low parts from the pile. The following is a pic of my starting point that I took earl today in keeping with spirat of the clinker I'm gonna guess FMV of $50 for the pile as my starting point which should leave me $50 to finish a build.
Don't think I stand much of chance of getting a good bike or winning.
I know it won't be anywhere near the level of my last clunker bike the Schwinn Mesa GSX which I sill ride regularly.
