New bike

I woke up this morning to find a huffy beach cruiser 5 speed on my frount sidewalk. I did not know what to do because I thought that maybe a kid forgot it, but that did not make sense eather because it had a flat tire and a rusty chain that was bent in such a way to where it had not been ridden in awhile. I chained it up to my hand rail and put a note on it that read If this is your bike call me and I will unlock it for you with my PH#. The day went on and I kind of forgot about it. Finaly my neighbor told me that he left it there for me if I wanted it his friend was throwing it away. It is not the best bike but I could use it for parts. It had some pretty decent aluminum wheels on it. Oh well that's my bike story. Can't sleep and my wife is at work and I am trying not to drink so much, so I am writting on the Tavern part of the page.

Nice! I wish that would happen to me...the bike part that is.

I have enough trouble sleeping.

real nice. wheels aren't cheap even if that is all you can salvage out of it

take the crank set and wheels for sure, if it has a cruiser seat get that as well. The fender struts make excellent braces for home made luggage racks. Lots of things to take from an old bike.
