there are nothing but a bunch of F'ing cheap skates on this forum. You can't even get a half decent new comfort bike for under $300 not to mention they are so blah looking. she could spend $300 on fixing this up and have a bike that rides great and has unique style that you can't buy new ANYWHERE. I live in the most expensive city in the country yet even I can get shift cables and housing from my lbs for $10. The same for brake cables. If I go online I can get both for $10. online you can get cheap tires for $15 and 2 tubes for $6. I bought brand new alloy wheels from aebike.com for 65 bucks and a freewheel and a chain can be had for about $25
Tires $8 each
Tubes $3 each
New alloy wheels
www.aebike.com $65
shift and brake cables $15
New chain and freewheel $25
WD 40 and other cleaning agents rags etc $20
Thats under $150 to get this bike lookign pretty darn good and trust me, you could advertise on craigslist in Brooklyn some hipsters would befighting you to buy it
