I was a bike thief my last life
Jan. 12th, 2004 10:51 pmThere's a fascination I have in working with my hands to mess with tools. After checking a sports outlet for parts, we found a number of bikes that they tossed, all of them junked up just to make sure someone didn't get a free lunch. We took the aluminum frames over to where we stow garbage stuff and I ended up working the parts out. Tonight I ended up taking apart bikes one after the other. By the time I was done, I had already stripped clean one bike and was halfway done with another. I'm not sure if these parts are worth anything or not, but I had a surprising amount of fun just stripping them clean. If these parts are worth something, then I can think of doing this normally. Yeah, either I should own a bike shop or become a full-time bike thief.
