Just turned this $50 ‘craigslist find’ into a “No Worries Grocery Getter”. The main build choice strategy being… if it gets stollen, life goes on. . Its cheap, heavy and a blast to ride.

Yep, I sacrificed many of such bikes to the Gods of the Streets, nowadays I get groceries in a car, I got tired of coming back to only a subset of the parts of my steel donkey (yes, Germany has horrendous levels of bike theft)

Very nice idea! And if you get some free [stollen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stollen) out of it then even better (I’m sorry, I am a pedant)

I think I’d replace that quick release on the seat post to a regular bolt so no one can steal that nice saddle.
