'What I really want to get out of this is to give the bike a good home, not have it for myself'
If they find the original owner, then great. They can have it by all means. Don't know about any of you, but I hate to see bikes like these rot in the elements.
I'm doing nothing with it, either. I am 'leaving it'. I've only taken pictures. If nobody cares about it any more (someone might, as you say - I knew this) then I do. I like saving stuff. I'm not showing off, not looking for recognition -
I was only asking, if the council asked me to take it, whether it would be worth fixing up in its current state. That's all. Heck, if they find the owner later on and I've already done it up, they can have it. One less dead bike, that's all it'd mean to me.
So please don't jump to conclusions.
