Something kinda funny happened today on my ride to work. I saw a kid riding a familiar bike. Three years ago I built a bike for a friend and weeks later it was stolen. I kinda always keep an eye out for it as it is rather unique, and today was my lucky day. I made a quick U -turn as I shouted...

a moderator could move this if needed this bike was stolen recently, bummer

i picked up this frame a while back i had some mountain tires laying around i guess it will be like a clunker mountain bike/big kid BMX for now anyway :mrgreen:

this all started with the talks about getting new equipment at work. I cook for living and the restaurant i work for had very old stoves on the hot line. On the top portion of one of them there was a 'sally' or salamander, like a broiler with a shelf that could be raised or lowered with a gear...
