I also give away bikes to kids that do not have one, word of mouth only, or if I hear of need.

No junk, I collect so I end up with lots of kids bikes, I build nice dependable safe bikes that will not fall apart with use like the box store merchandise, I use all good serviceable better quality frames and parts.

I charge one penny, this means they bought their bike, they own it, and if they ever need help they know where to find me.

Nothing like the smile on a kid riding their new bike, nothing.

I gave away four last weekend and they are out having fun somewhere with them.

It's not about money to me.
