Thanks! Yeah I'm really not looking for any sort of performance bike, just something to get me around campus. I found a front 27 1 1/4 wheel on ebay for like $23 so I'll probably get that. The chain seems surprisingly in good shape (the previous owner said he had some stuff replaced when it came into his ownership). But how difficult is it to replace brake housing, cables and pads for someone with no bike building experience? (As I said I usually do cars so I'd like to think I have some mechanical skills hahah)

But here's a picture of the jalopy
