Anyone good with old bikes? I intend to buy this one (auction website) for 20 bucks. First i wonder what the brand on it is because i have no clue. Second, it has been stored for probably decades inside. The gearing feels fine, no rust there and i can feel some oil gunge there.
And last pic. If i were to buy it, shouldn't it be enough to replace the rubber wheels, clean up the gears, oil moving parts and then good to go?
>>2060346Even just finding matching tires and tubes can be challenging on these old things.If you have the space to have it sit around while you try to come up with enough motivation to fix it up, for that little money, go for it.
>>2060343It'll be so much work and money to restore that thing that you may as well just get a dipshit fixie cruiser off a rack in a store. If you get that for 20$, you'll already be spending more money than it's worth on a couple cans of paint, a couple tires/tubes, and maybe a new seat and still have an absolute abomonation of a ride.
>>2060346 No , because the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhere or other essential components.
>>2060591>the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhereIt's a coaster brake.
