I had seen a green bmx frame beside a big building in town for a few days. I went up yesterday to see about it. it was in amoungst rubbish in the line of bins. so I took it away. Had my tools in my bike bag. I had got a plug key to take the rear wheel off. as I thought it would be a 19mm. But theyve fitted a 3/8" axled wheel into a 14mm drop out. So no tools to get inside the tube peg. I did have a claw hammer. so put the claws on the peg and twisted it hammer round. It undid. 
I stripped off the cranks, bars, wheel, seat clamp. off the frame. took the frame, tyre and seat to the dump. I seen a Hawk folding bike parked beside a container there. I was thinking of asking if I could buy it. but the council worker didnt look too cheery.
I biked home about 8 miles with the stuff strapped on my bike bag.
Ive been thinking I could have built my suspension forks onto the bmx frame. Always fancied a bike like that.
I cleaned off the green paint from the wheel. Its a 36 spoke with an 18 tooth freewheel. Its quite buckled. so will try to true it. but likely just strip for parts.
