Using my BMX-part-spotting super powers, I noticed this Tuf-Neck on a spray-bombed junk bike in a trash pile. It took some major wrestling but I finally freed it from the mild-steel forks that had kept it captive for years. Under the paint and rust, I think it's silver.

Good score! Should be easy enough to clean up...

Another happy ending. Good job! I hope there aren't nasty hammer marks.

It looks like it's a chrome Tuf-Neck, but the chrome's peeling. There are a couple hammer marks. It isn't pretty, but eventually, it'll go on a survivor build. For now it goes in the stockpile!
The bike that this was on was so cheap that when I held the front wheel and twisted the bars to try to get the stem out of the forks, the fork dropouts broke off.

That's funny they just broke off. Good eyes and nice save.
