Ok, since ther seems to be a few guys that seem to have been doing this bucket thing for a while and certinly appear to have a bit of knowledge floating around this forum, I have a question.
As I am fairly new to this (and quickly becoming addicted) and have little to no knowledge I want to know where the hell you guys get all these parts to build these bikes taht are made up of several diferent bikes?
The reason I ask is my bucket I know has a few issues specifically the front end (forks have a small banana in them) that I was thinking of getting some rplacement parts for, and further to this I was thinking of getting another bike for a bucket build project (you cant have to many projects:whistle:), just so I can learn a thing or two and have fun with a grinder, this bike also has frout end issues in the form of bent forks.
So is it just a case of searching the wreakers/Trade Me to find somthing suitable and affordable?
Or
Have you guys that have been doing it for a few years to many just got so many bike parts lying around your place its not funny?
Or
Is there a magical place that I have not yet found that results in bike parts falling from the sky all, in reasoble, straight, afordable condition?
Imput and thoughts apreciated, or if I am just a newb that does not yet have a clue you can ignore the ravings of a madman and move on :done:
