My First Bike Build (FrankenBike)

This is the first bike I have ever built. The frame was bought form CJ for $25 after he stripped it of it's wheels, seat, handlebars, cranks, and stem. The brakes and derailers where left in place which saved me from doing any real serious work. The crank came from a Schwinn World Sport that Gary found in the trash (the frame went to CJ for free). Everything else came from a Schwinn Spirit I got for free from Freecycle.org in Chesapeake.

This frame wouldn't make a good fixie. The plan is to ride this one while converting my Trek 400 to a fixie. I just need to come up with some cash for the wheel and hub, etc.
