Hey all, really love these build offs, got a few bikes lately that would work perfectly for these Junker type challenges.
So @Narhay, is it that time again? Who, if anyone is keen?

I'm game
I've got a Bianchi frame for free and a couple dollar donor bike. That will allow funds forctires, tubes and a decent seat. I also have a $50 Prelude I need to put together.

I would be in! I rescued an early 80's Schwinn Voyager from the dump so I have a candidate.

Is there a deadline for this? I'm going to do a clunker challenge type build on the gitane but it keeps getting bumped. I have continued to acquire parts. Nearly there, or there plus, depending on how one views the parts stockpile.

Funnier still I got a Facebook memory come up about going back home after a holiday in Wellington with bikes on my Ute, when I was again in Wellington loading bikes onto my Ute to go home to Auckland(550kms drive) so a year and a day later, same Ute same drive, different bikes.

Not yet. I keep thinking about it and then two toddlers takes up most of my free time. I will endeavour to do it.

I'm game. Bought a $20 1982 Bridgestone Spica for this one. Needed a new front tire and tube, and a bottle cage. Lots of cleaning and love.
