In most cases, this is a search for normal bikes among the garbage at flea markets. Since 26 wheels are unpopular here, and aluminum bikes are valued more than steel, you often buy a normal bike for pennies from a person who does not understand what he is selling. It is also normal practice to buy a whole bike for one spare part that is on it, such as cnc crankset or a pair of beautiful rare brakes and so on.Something I've wondered looking at your thread....
Where do you get all these cool parts from?
I mean I can't imagine many would have been bought originally in Ukraine in the 90s, well not so many as in the west. You have some rare parts.
So do you import them via eBay or travel to bike jumbles in Germany?
It must be a real coup...sorry about the term to find something rare and desirable in the flea markets. Quite a lift to the emotions to spot something amongst all the junk and then get it for cheap.In most cases, this is a search for normal bikes among the garbage at flea markets.
