Pictures of my find a month ago...

I finally took time or at least had the camera in the same area and took the photos of what I found on my way to work.

Here ins this photo is the wheels - 32 spoke wheels - nothing fancy and if I remember, the spokes have some surface rust on them and maybe the wheels do too. I know that the front wheel, the left side has nuts on both sides...while the other two just have it on one side. I don't know if I could use the axles with the Delta Runner, but I'm sure I could use the rims/tires.

Here you can see the frame that came with the jogger/stroller - what it USED to be. It has one brake/level, but not the best, but the price is right.

Not for sure if this is going into the project, but it will be at least next summer before I even attempt to start building, as I have too many other projects right now to deal with.

Cool find. I think if I had those parts I would have a bike trailer by next week.:jester:

I am finding that as word gets out about what I am doing it is getting easier to come up with parts and stuff for projects. Maybe I'm just more aggressive (less nervous) about stopping and asking if I see something useful.:rolleyes4: Like Brad says and this is not a direct quote but I think the intent is right, get yourself a good pile of parts and when you are ready for the project it will be ready for you.:jester:

It's going to be a while for me - I've got a master bathroom to remodel - siding to put on the house and then paint the house...stain/varnish windows and a bed frame...I'm wondering if I'll get it all done before the snow flies again this next fall?

Plus I need to save up some money to purchase a MIG welder and then learn to weld...

So it might be 2010 fall before I even get to where I start building anything...:(
:(:(

If you find someone to do some of those things for you and barter with them to build a bike for them in exchange they might get done faster, and you'll get to work on something you enjoy more. Lots of tradesmen I know are more interested than ever in the barter system.:builder2:

Sounds like my list -- I always seem to put family and house before hobbie - really sucks sometimes seeing all the new builds - but that is life, no complaints here - got lots to be thankful for!
