BOTM right there...

Looking at the snow, did you club it to death?

It’s time to call it a day. I still have to attach the rear fender stays and mend a rusty old chain that’s broken in two places. I used heavy wire to keep the front coaster arm from spinning. Man, the tires are rotted, the rims are dented and about as true as taco chips. The seat cover is so rotted that it just falls apart when you touch it. I’ll replace that with a rusty seat with the cover already rotted off from the junk pile.

I like the maggot look of the 26x1 3/8 wheels instead of balloon 26x2.125

Someone requested photos of the place where I got this junk bicycle. The village is called Amasa, Michigan.

The Rusty Sawblade downtown draws a lunchtime crowd. Tall Pines Grocery and deli fills your everyday needs.

Tall Pines is also a petrol station and and has sleeping rooms. I didn’t make it there. The only other times I’ve been to Amasa was on the train to Chicago. That service is long gone. I think it would be fun to try and locate the old nearby mine sites and go rock hounding in the poor rock dumps. I couldn’t post photos of the Tall Pines because the online photos of it would not transfer.

Who needs a lock?

This bike is ending out so maggoty that my booby trap pedal idea is unnecessary. I actually hope some fool pinches it. I’ll bet a thief will abandon it before two blocks.

It passed it’s first tests. The rotted tires held air overnight and it wasn’t stolen.

Is that a real issue there to get anything stolen?
