Just what I need another bike but I can't help myself. I have collected all the parts to build a long tail cargo bike. I don't need one but I guess I'm going to put off more important projects and build one anyhow. I'm ashamed of myself for having so little self control.The bicycle above is the donor of the rear triangle (the blue part) that is going to make it possible. It is a real shame to break this bike down for parts as when it arrived it was about 95 percent complete. Put on a seat, fix a flat, adjust the brakes add a new chain and it would be a new bike. It's a 24" Huffy full suspension mountain bike probably less than two years old. What a shame but it was thrown out so now it's parts.
Here it is a few days later. I got it all prepped to paint but between the rain and cold I have been unable. It's dry out now but my life sometimes interferes with the things I want to do. I have the parts in my hovel to keep them warm and dry. The first warm, dry day and they get painted if it isn't blowing a gale.
Yes that is a spittoon. Although I don't chew now I keep one around for old times sake. I really liked it (It's just another drug) but when those sleazeball bastards in the tobacco industry quadrupled the price for a package of sticks and twigs then said "take it or leave it" I left it. Those tobacco industry vampires are the worst junkies of the junkie world.
And besides artificial flowers are much nicer than spit.

I always justify new bikes by telling myself that with my limited horsepower, I cannot lug around an all-purpose bike at all times. And also... I just want one.
Well, if a couple can own three cars on our street, why can't I own three non-polluting bikes?
Especially as their cars cost more to run in a year than it cost to buy my bike.
Agreed. Between myself and my grand kids there are 10 ride-able bikes here. It's good to have spares.
Anyway, what's one more bike. Especially for someone who appreciates them.
