Can someone help me with price advice?
#1
Hello, I just got this bike. I paid 50 bucks which I thought was fair. It is a Giant Acapulco probably from the late 90s/early 2000s. The bike functioned well until today when I felt the pedal wobbling and the pedal fell off. So I was reading a few other forums and they said that the crank arm was most likely the problem. The nut also appears to be stripped. So my question is should I just go to a bike shop and get a new nut or should I just order a crank arm set off of ebay. Also if I order a crank arm off ebay which one should I get. I am looking to spend under 30 bucks for this since I am a broke college student who has a commutes 10 miles each day. Currently it has the stock crank arm.

try to post pics of what you have, i may have a spare arm or another crankset. $30 is slim budget for something decent. plus Bottom bracket may also need replaced because they are sized to the type of crankset that will be used.
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
