i just bought this bike it is not in terrible condition but it is not good either. After inspecting the bike it seems all stock parts except the saddle.
cons of the bike.
- spokes on both tires are rusted hubs might be i have to wash them off to really see
- the shifters are kinda busted i can only shift the front gear between 2 and 3 (which i can ride cause i use them the most anyway at least to go to shop to repair)
I have had bikes before but I was more into cruisers. I have been doing research about bikes and i like this bike i dont mind the no front suspension and i figure I can always buy a new fork anyway.
I am on here cause i do not know very much about components. I figure i am goin to have to replace my shifters cause i dont know how to fix but i might as well upgrade while i am there but i do not know what is good and wanted all of your advice for a somewhat older bike like this. also i am going to have to get new rims but want to know what a good choice for them is i dont want cheap garbage but i want quality that is cost effective.
I have like 100-200 dollars to replace shifters and rims i figure i can get some alright stuff for this and would like some recommendations.
