A thrift store find that I completely rebuilt; spending way too much money on a frame that was bargain bin quality. It did get me into riding distances of greater than a few miles, so I guess that's worth something. The first ride I went on was about 5 miles, essentially across town. I almost died. Thankfully almost all the parts, which were at least decent, I was able to use on other projects when this one got scrapped after some buckling in the downtube was discovered.
