I picked up a bunch of unused frames from the dump last year and have used two of them so far.
This will be the bike I use in my office because of the restrictions outside.
All the parts are from the other bike I've been using, and they all fit well. Even the chain was the right length. Just the seat stay bracket needs some work.
I think it's an 87 or 88 frame like the other frames I picked up. Maybe someone here can decipher the number. It's either Japanese or Taiwanese made.
The only damage other than rust was the 6 rear stays. On the junkpile, they got compressed together. I was going to take it to the welding shop, but I was able to stand on one side and pull up on the other. They all straightened out evenly. I got all this done in just a couple hours today.
