My best friend is incredibly cheap, and has a fondness for rescuing bikes from the trash. Last time we went on an overnight, he showed up with a dumpster bike with a chain that seemed entirely made of rust, and a freewheel that no longer freewheeled so he was riding a fixie, not that great for dirt uphills and downhills. However, he's a good rider and a brilliant mechanic, so he made the dumpster bike work.
Now he has Dumpster II. Friday he called and said he'd found this bike and patched it up-- a Bridgestone MB-2. Hey, said me, that's a good frame! We were supposed to do another overnight this weekend but it was raining and I'm sick, so we postponed until next weekend. Good thing, because he discovered yesterday on a ride that Dumpster II has a broken chainstay. This did not prevent my friend from riding it up to Skyline and down again, because he is crazy. So, how hard would it be for my friend to replace the chainstay himself, and would it be worth it to pay to have the chainstay replaced? -- -- Anne Paulson It isn't a contest.
