I have this 3speed wheel I want to use, but I haven't done anything to it. I will stop looking for a frame, but I have enough junk here already to build a bike and it all came from the junk store. rofl.. So it technically is a junkyard bike.

Also how do you pro-rate parts from bikes that were used in more than one build. Case in point, whats the value of my huge mountain bike that is gone except for one front brake and brake handle which are now on the delivery chopper. The whole bike cost 4bucks but one of the tires lives on as part of the electro chopper.. what's it's value to a build... The whole front wheel found its way onto the delivery chopper. The rear wheel and frame are gone and the derailer and rear brake got tossed as well. That was before I realized how I could use them easily.

I bought a twenty inch boys bike for 7 bucks. The rear wheel is on the electro chopper.. The chain ring is on the three speed I can't decide what to do with. The front wheel is going to be part of my next trailer for the delivery chopper. The handle bars might be part of the 3 speed. It's hard to estimate the cost of those parts. Can I just call each part a buck and let it slide.

Then there is the issue of the frame bike. If I pay ten bucks for it and strip the wheels to use for other purposes do I reduce the cost of the bike by the value of those wheels. My god this gets complicated. I'm going to have to hire an accountant.
