Yeah Steve I used to ride alot. Since my crash 4 years ago I've been a bit gun shy.
For several years I'd drive up and down the alleys and pick up any bikes that people threw out. Took them home, repaired/restored, and then sold at the bi-annual bike swap meet in town. But the last 7-8 years the supply of discarded bikes dried up. And used parts became unobtainable for reasonable. So I gave it up.
And yes bmwrd my baby brother is like six 5.
He has a hard time finding frames that fit him, and basically commutes on his bike. So I've helped him out over the years when he wears them out.
