...it's hard rubbish time over here again, and while it's been a great week of scrounging (this time the pick of the litter has been a complete weights bench!), but I must admit it's damn painful to see all these 27inch wheel road bikes waiting for the scrapper... I've saved one (with no good reason for doing so other than sympathy!), but there's a bundle more littering the streets - Even found an identical Raleigh Scorpio to the one I saved last time and turned into my ss shop bike...
Anyone after a beater, get yourselves over here - I can even direct you to a few good ones...
As an aside, also had an unfortunate ebay scrounging experience - picked up a dirt-cheap peugot road bike with 700c wheels for the fixie project, and today took it to be rebuilt to discover cracks and bulges in the rim... grr.. dammit. Well, at least I got some decent levers and brakes out of it.... double grr....
