New Project Bicycle

In about two hours from now I'll be stopping at a nearby home in relation to my own to pickup an older 10 speed (in good condition) which is being donated to bucksbicycling.com's as part an effort to refurbish and reuse older bicycles rather than allow them to sit idle and/or become simple refuse.

This will also kick off the "Project Bike" series as an interspersed supplement to this blog. We will be detailing the start condition, tear down, rebuild/conversion, and finishing of a series of bikes as time progresses. Utilising knowledge from a multitude of sources (all of which will be referenced via hyperlinks for all to explore) we intend to provide advice on how to go about refurbishing and/converting not only adult bicycles, but those for children as well. There will be 10 speed and such vintage rebuilds as well as fixed gear and single speed (not to be confused, though not mutually exclusive either) conversions.

Additional updates will be posted later today if possible showing the initial pictures of the received donor bicycle and we'll proceed from there after our assessment.

Note: Those wishing to donate bicycles towards future projects may do so by sending an email directly to donations@bucksbicycling.com
