Old barn find I breathed new life in because gravel bikes are too expensive so fuck it I'll make my own.

Just waiting for the last parts since i lost some plastic thingamabobs I need for the STIs.

Sometimes I think I should keep my bike shop like surgically clean so I don't lose the small, crucially important plastic bits in the mess of parts and old boxes but alas, if your personal shop doesn't look like you could outfit a frame with parts you find on the ground, is it even a shop?

    I've been looking for a vintage BMX bike to fix up with my nephew. Like a real wreck we can bring back to life. Tried yard sales and swap meets but no luck so far. Any advice on where I can find one?

      Craigslist or your local equivalent. Allthough from my experience "specialty" bikes like this are very much dependent on the local market, if you don't have a BMX Scene, there's not gonna be any used ones about basically.

      idk what your requirements are but newer bmx bikes are so so much better and might even cost about the same because they're not "collectible"
