Dumpster Bicycle I Sandblasted, Powder Coated and Rebuilt.

I have a photo of my dad and I working on my first bicycle in 1968. When my daughter was young she'd ask about why my dad and I would rebuild and repaint a junk bicycle. I explained that it saved money and taught me some skill at the same time.
Then she asks why it's not done today and I have to explain chinesium and "the global economy" and our throw away society.
Sad.
