Every once in a while I'll hit the local resale shops just to see if there are any bikes worthwhile, and sometimes there are. I did buy a bike today, but only for the toe clips. It's a red schwinn traveler that is nearly as tall as me but I just wanted the christophe mini toe clips. 15.00 for toe clips isn't too bad. Of course now I've got a bike that will probably just wind up getting donated back to the same store. I should of just asked to pay the 15.00 for the toe clips and left the bike. I once paid 30.00 for a pannasonic gas pipe bike just for the christophe leather covered clips it had.
This just got me thinking if anyone else has bought a whole bike or frame just for a tiny part or bits.
