Bicycle junkyard?

[shane]

I know this may seem odd, but I was curious if anyone knew of a bicycle junkyard in the Denver metro are. A scrap yard that has a bunch of bikes laying around would work too. I'm looking for an old road bike frame for a bamboo build I want to try. So a place I could walk around and look would be ideal. Thanks!

I have a 22"(?) Kurwahara(sp) road bike. It has Sun Tour friction shifters. I road the hell out of it, when I lived on the flats, but it's just gathering dust now. It's in good used shape.

$40 if you pick it up.

PM me.

To answer your question: No I don't know of any bike yards.

Eh, pardon my ignorance, but what is a "bamboo build"?

Ginsue, I've heard of a bamboo build before, and I think it is a bike that has an actual bamboo frame. Supposed to be very light I believe.


Shane, Here you go, good luck.

What do you suppose that some of those [translated: ALL] were borrowed without the owners approval?

[Irving]

Not my picture by the way. I had to go search my other site for thread from a bunch of years ago.

All I can think about is the seat tube and the first big pothole...

[theGinsue]

Agreed. I know bamboo is exceptionally strong, but I can't imagine something like that holding up too well.

The Bamboo Bike Project is a project by Scientists and Engineers at The Earth Institute, Columbia University, and aims to examine the feasibility of implementing cargo bikes made of bamboo as a sustainable form of transportation in Africa.

I know the Denver police hold bike auctions with all the bikes they pick up that are stolen, abandonded, etc. I would go to DPD website or give them a call and ask when the next one is (during the summer I think they pick up to every other Thursday)
