About once a month I go to the tip to see whats around… scored today!
Hillman roadie…
NFI yet…
Very nice finds! congratz!
though you really have to wonder why someone would throw those out…
That yellow one’s alright! Our ‘waste transfer station’ sign says ‘NO SCAVENGING’ 
Yeah, the yellow one surprised the hell out of me! I will throw some pics up when I give it a good clean to see what you all think. The only bad thing about the yellow one is the vertical dropouts and the oval chainring!! haha. ’
As for scavenging… The tip has a shop where you can buy all sorts of things, so I did have to pay for them.
Not every bike has to be converted! If I were you I would ride the yellow one as is, gearz rule, vertical dropout conversions drool.
- lots, what’s with converting everything???
But I like it 
The builds are a while off anyway, got a couple others I am working on at the moment. I will go for a ride on the yellow one tomorrow, see how I like the gears. Could be a longer ride bike.
Cleaned it up today and took it for a short ride. Not bad at all. It is not getting converted. A few changes though… the biopace chainrings have to go, they felt strange. I want to use that fork on another build so I will swap it over for a carbon one.
I still have no idea on the frame.
