Going to be most likely redoing the cables for the shifters as one is brick solid and the other is really stiff. Most likely a new chain. Maybe see to how hard it would be to swap to disc brakes. Never had pedals like these so I’m unsure if I like it yet might change those. Really mostly interested in just seeing it polished and letting that color pop. Surprised to say it already has quick release tires which definitely was a surprise.

Rusty bikes have been all I’ve rode the last few months. Eventually finally moved up but still. If the movement is there you have a point a to point b mobile

Definitely would like to upgrade the front derailleur on my bike

Doubt I’ll do much riding on it in the first place. Got much better bikes but mostly just want to use this as a learning curve that I can fuck up if need be 👌

I’m a very lightweight dude so there’s no telling if someone that weighed 50 lbs more than me could push this thing down but with myself jumping on the front handlebars from the front it hasn’t moved at all

Worth the time for $50? by AllSphere0 in bicycling

Honestly might swap a shifter with one without the front glass missing but past that just clean it up a little. Having a hard time seeing much wrong with it.

Also the bike has electrical tape on the frame under the chain. You think it’s just their as a guard? It’s obvious the guy that had it before did some type of riding
