Creatively destructive

 Today our Fife friend came over and stripped down five bikes!! ( He has worked as a bike shop mechanic) 

Now I have to clean, i.d. and price that lot!!!

The garden has definitely gone up a gear..heat plus water....




Time for bed!

  1. Nice veg haul. You couldn't sell the bikes as going concerns then?

    1. These ones no, as they had modern components on vintage frames. I should get more for both components and frames separately.
      There are a couple of bikes that can go complete apart from saddle and pedals.
      People have their preferences regarding those, so that is the best way all round.

  3. So good that you can get something out of the old bikes. A lot of work, but worthwhile .

    1. Definitely better than just treating them as rubbish. All the worn-out components are going to the sculptor blacksmith in our collective for use.. nothing wasted!

  4. How wonderful your saving bikes from going into landfill.
    Your garden is really doing well. A nice harvest indeed

  6. Looks like you will have something to do in all your *free* time.🤭. Perhaps save for a winter project? Love your garden bounty!

  7. Parts from 5 bikes seems like lots of bits and pieces.
    It must bring some good value to take on all the disassembly and cleaning work.
    Your harvest is looking very good.

  8. Stripping down five bikes is a huge project, but it's great you have a friend who helps.

  9. Looks like a good harvest, with Winter here there hasn't been so much to take out except Silverbeet

  10. Apologies to your wonderful area for the visit by "our" president. I enjoyed Andy Borowitz' brief piece on the joy by the Scots over the departure of the not-so-great orange one.

  11. Your garden is kicking in. Well done. I'm on SAG standby at home as Rick is cycling back today and tomorrow from cottage to home (about 180 miles or so, bike-roads). He has been having some major bike problems that just cropped up but made his first night safely. So fingers crossed for tomorrow. And then getting it ship-shape for his Michigan/Ontario/Quebec/New England trip. Hope you do well with the parts!

Thanks!
