From a Pile of Junk to Pee-Wee Herman's Bike on 'Dirty Money' (VIDEO)

Jimmy had a stroke of genius on 'Dirty Money' (Wed., 10PM ET on Discovery). Looking at a pile of bicycle parts they'd salvaged, he suddenly remembered what iconic creation could be made from them."What is the most famous Schwinn in the world?" he asked. "Why don't we turn this into the Pee-wee Herman bike?"
The only financial investment they put into it was the new tires, at fifty bucks. The rest of it was from on-hand materials, and they did an absolutely beautiful job in recreating the bicycle made famous in 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.'
Even better they got a solid cash offer of $500 for the bike, netting a sweet $450 profit for their time and effort. Kind of makes you want to start digging through trash, doesn't it?
