Picked up a new bike
Hi, I post in the fixed gear forum the most because thats what I ride the most. But I do ride a 91 Bridgestone MB1. I recently picked up a Giant Yukon for an extremely low price (under 100, spoiled kids are the best), the one with disc brakes, its black and blue. The first thing is the BB or crank set is bent, 2nd the chainrings are rivited on, 3rd the derailer isnt attatched to the frame. This all has to go. Has anyone delt with the crank set being bent??? I know the BB is F'd up because it makes all kinds of noises when i pedal, and you can see the largest chainring move inward and outward.
I have an old Balance XR250 (my first mt bike) I was wondering if its possible to swap the Altus A10 crankset/bb onto it.

I have seen a couple of cranks being bent. Especially in the early truvativ husslefelt line.
Depending on age I imagine the bb widths would be different I would take both out and measure to be sure
