On the other hand, it's a good bike for riding for many purposes.

The seat is all the way down. Is it the right height for you? If so, the bike is too big for you, and you should know that before you go further. When you pedal, your knee should be straight or very slightly bent. If your hips rock while you pedal, the seat is too high.
well if factory condition isn't worth it then I would like to make a bike that simply rides great. I'm pretty handy I have a background in working on cars. And thanks for the tip on ride height, I didn't even know that, that is how noob I am.
