Here's to recycling bikes! I truly enjoy bringing a bike back from oblivion and making a sweet machine again. I always ask before picking from the curb. Cleaning, sanding, and repainting make a frame look brand new. I use automotive grade spray paint and clear coat everything I can. Kids really like a decent bike with a cool fairing. Check with the police for auctions of unclaimed stolen goods. If a local municipality has a bike registration program, look into it. Having a record of frame numbers and some photos helps if only with the homeowners insurance claim.
