[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16595650, member: 196707"] Here are a couple of bike projects I've completed that are still in my current inventory. Diamondback Ascent from the late 80's I believe. 4130 Chromoly frame and fork. Bought for $100 Before:[ATTACH=full]1695127[/ATTACH] I converted to a single speed and geared it for barhopping and easy wheelies to impress the Boise State college girls. I kinda went overboard on this one buying new parts and lots of little details, but it was a lot of fun to build and I love the way it turned out. After:[ATTACH=full]1695128[/ATTACH] I found this bike in the Colorado State University surplus shop. They collect all the abandoned bikes on campus and sell them off.
