I have an old Hoffman Resistance sitting in my basement from before I got my drivers license. I want to get back into some street riding but this bike is in no riding condition.
Being in the number of peices its in I have no idea the condition of the crank or any of the important things...
Problems:
Handelbars are trashed from a nast fall (right is at about 45 degree angle)
Front wheel is... missing...
Brakes probably could use new pads and probably cables.
seat is trashed
Good:
Frame is banged up but still solid
chain and sprocket appears passable...
I already have it.
Obviously I want to get riding as soon as I can so it seems like I should start new.
Is it a decent enough bike to keep around or should I just junk it in the hundreds of peices it sits and look for a new/used bike on craigslist.
I feel I know the answer but shoot anyways.
