Mary's SO made her bike for her out of random retro parts that he collected and it is one of the nicest looking bikes I have ever seen. It probably cost about $100. However, he is a bike mech for a living. He left last Sun from VA to bike to OR. He expects he will arrive sometime in Sep. Woot!

My friend J sort of collects bikes. He says his purpose in seeking them out is for resale or to cull better parts for his own bike, but I believe he just likes collecting them. I dont believe he has ever sold one. He buys and has bikes that probably cost as little as $5, all the way up to $2500.

So, whatever bike you get, know that you can change parts out and tweak it to your liking. And be careful out there.
