I should tell you that sometimes I have been known to trash pick. I’m nowhere near the level of scavenger that my wife is, but sometimes I give in. Like when someone leaves out a perfectly good salvageable mountain bike with a sign on it that says ‘Take me’.
I’ve been promising myself for at least two years ‘This is the year that I learn how to maintain my bike.’ Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen. However, this will most certainly be the year I bring a mountain bike back from the dead.
Good things about this bike: Working cateye, pump, the frame is not irredeemably rusted, the wheel set appears to be relatively true. Working front derailer. shifters and breaks appear to be intact.
Bad things about this bike: rusted chain, all cables completely shot and need to be replaced. graffix sticker. may have been stolen from the city of Laramie, WY at some point.
