I stripped my first bike of most of its parts (which went on my red Eddy) and the frame just sat for a long time. I eventually brought it to my lbs and told them to find it a home. It ended up going to a fisherman's wife, and I got fish in trade. I could probably still be cashing in on the fish, but it never occurs to me to ask.

I was the second owner, and with no parts, I was just happy to see it rebuilt and used. I heard she loved it.
