Get the Frankenstein Designmug. The Wi-Fi was bad in our basement, so I set up a high power receiver down there, attached it to a router, then connected my work computer to ethernet through a 100 foot cable. Bit of a Frankenstein, but it works!

Get the Frankenstein websitemug. A bike made from hella different kind of components. You can see a Giant frame, with a set of god knows what kind of shifter and derailleur, maybe the front has a hydraulic brake or maybe it has a mechanical brake. What ever parts were used were probably taken from another beat up bike.
