But I'm thinking all that (plus new brake pads for the rear) would add up to 1/4 of the price of a new bike.
I gotta admit though, I have some real problems thinking spacially and that means I suck at doing repairs myself. It takes me freaking forever to get the brake pads just right!
= should be under $200.
Do it your self ...or most. Let the shop just adjust the pads and do the derailers.
stem 40
pads 25
tire 40
housings 15
cable 10
lbs fee 25
I say lower, 150. A bike NEEDS money...buy lube? tires? 150$ a year is cheap costs...to me.
