Frankenbike

Took Frankenbike for a five mile ride today around Alligator Park to test it out. The bottom bracket feels squirreled, the brakes good, the shifters off, the chain scrapes the derailleur holder, i do not think the front Judy fork works, but other than that, it rides well. Here I am stopped for a spot of rest by the bridge that leads over the dike, next to Possum Trail.
The frame of the bike came from Roger Sessler, my friend who passed away last month. He had given me the frame and always asked when I was going to assemble it. I could never find a front fork. Then, I find out that he kind of willed me his old mountain bike when he passed away. I went over and Allen helped me load it up. It sat around several weeks before I took it to Harry's and he took the components off it and assembled it. It was a job as the brakes were not compatible, I had to take some I had off one of my bikes. The bottom derailleur was not compatible, he put one of his on. The shifters did not work, he tried to reassemble them. They work OK.
No seat, I supplied one. Took the pedal straps off. Rogers two tires were mismatched and dry rotted. I used two I had which were in better shape. Roger, like I had said before would probably called it a piece of junk.
