Check out the "MADE IN BALI" Build Off Frame I am bringing back with me.
It's going to be tough widening the rear end to fit my 24x3 Thick Bricks
I think there are few people in BO7 that could help with that. :wink:

That is awesome! How much in US dollars does that cost? (not yard sale dollars)

I would've struggled to not buy half a dozen of those bikes! Awesome.

I can afford $5, it's the plane ticket that gets me.

Everytime we get out of the car, vendors swarm us trying to sell trinkets. I usually politely tell them no, but I couldn't resist the bike. If he had more, I would have bought more.

I found one even better last night. When we arrived in Yogyarkarta I asked one of the Becak (front ride pedicab) drivers where to find old bike parts. He told me about the night market for secondhand items. Took a taxi for a grand total of $10 including tip and him waiting there for me for 30 minutes. The shop was awesome with a bunch of old wide Brooks like springer saddles and bunches of unusual headbadges and tail reflectors and ......

The only problem was I couldn't get the old guy to bargain with a even $10 and he was asking over ebay prices. I had four seats picked out and about 15 badges and a big bell and some front fender doo dads and rear fender reflectors. I was will to spend about $150 US (which is a LOT of money here) but he was in the $300+ range the whole time.

Will post photo of his cool stall when I get back to the states.

I picked up two more frames today.

A Becak rickshaw like pedicab and a penny farthing.

$30 total invested in the three bikes that I am bringing home.
