I probably will have let it go to the scrap yard were it could be recycled into something. Not certain every entry level bike or any level bike needs to be saved.
Though I guess it wouldn't have made it to the scrap yard since it was put out for trash pickup and would have only wound up in a land fill. So maybe you can send in the proper direction!
But if you like it, that's all that matters. You don't have to please me.
