i just pulled apart a pogo stick and a childs scooter for the wealth of cast alloys parts and clips and stuff they have bolted to them
honestly they are genuinely full of the stuff, and cos that craze came and went a couple of years ago no one wants them ;D

I find the image of a pogo stick being dismantled for spares rather amusing for some reason.
I`ve often thought about running an ad in the free sheet along the lines of "Gentleman`s Trilby - breaking for spares, all parts available" just see if it generates a response.

yeah its funkin ridonkulous
but i saw it lying in the corner and thought the little grips on it were pretty dope and the foot rests would make petty cool clutch and brake pedals and the more i pulled it apart the more bits i found
so what parts of this trilby are up for grabs ?

Hatband damaged, felt lining mint, the brims already gone, its been picked over to be honest, I`ve got a nice Panama, spares or repairs, I reckon it`ll make someone a nice hat.

Nice work! Car parts in the kitchen FTW! ;D Slight cautionary point: a lot of the alloy bits on kids toys are sh@t quality. Should be OK so long as you ain't using them as vital suspension components etc. though! ;D I got bits of mountain bike living in my car  |

"Just don't banger race it, pleeeease!"
Sorry, I`ve had an offer from someone who`s gonna use it in a headbutting match tonight!
About that pedal, why not spray it with the Steel variety of Simoniz wheel paint, that`ll darken it and dull it.

Nice skills... I once used some little shock absorbers I found in a washing machine to mount a seat in a Morris Minor. On reflection I'm not sure why. Looked good though |
