Agnes by Tony Cochran for November 17, 2022

Hang it in a tree and improve the environment.

Not quite a bike, but a little closer than when they started on it. At least its handlebars are sort of recognizable now.

tell you what girls: Put it on a pedestal, and call it “modern art” – that’s it.

From someplace on the Interweb:

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is an arc welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode heated and fed into the weld pool from a welding gun.

Got to admire Agnes’s enthusiasm over her “renovation project”.

How does Agnes know about such stuff as lathes and MIG welders??

Have we underestimated her street creds all these years??

For those of us not in the know, MIG is metal inert gas arc welding.

Even Agnes can only do so much with a hammer.

Probably need TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) if that frame is aluminum. That and a new skill set.

Yeah, turn that thing on a lathe and see what happens

if she had a mig welder and a lathe she could sell them and buy a new bike…

I’ll give them credit for trying, but Agnes has a very odd understanding of the term, “Good as new.”

I don’t know where the lathe would come in regarding the body of the bike unless she expects to round the flattened tubes.
