Frankenbike

So this bike was a "gift" from a friend who helped me out after i broke my Schwinn Varsity fucking around. It was ugly as hell but it served it's purpose with out a doubt! I was forced to retire this beast after I broke some critical welds for the third time. I decided this might be a good point to start saving for a new, stronger bike.
