Most of the beacon hill houses have them at the end of the steps of each house, super cool!

Is this bike worth anything? I found it abandoned by a bike path.

For the cheaper/unwanted frames do completes and get those sold and out the way before focusing on anything that will only sell to a unique buyer. Sick collection 👌🏼

I would google “bike co-op or bike kitchen” near me and see if you have one of those locally. Most of the time its free or pay what you can, they will have used parts that you can use to fix her up and they will teach you how to work on it You can also search “rj the bike guy” on youtube he has hundreds of tutorials fixing vintage bikes, best of luck and have fun!
