Stupid Mistakes #2

I did it! I bought the kid bikes from which I will harvest the front forks. Walmart kid bikes are much cheaper than buying the parts from even online bike shops, and who knows? I could even put the rear section together with the front wheel from the mountain bike and make a delta trike later.

I got what I paid for, which is Chinese crap. The steering and the axle turn like in place of ball bearings, they have twenty-sided dice. If you apply a little force, they go bump-bump-bump, about 3-4 bumps to go through an eighth of an arc. Swell.
