Check out my new ride!
I saw this baby at a garage sale this morning and all though I have never fixed a bike or tuned one up; it seemed pretty mechanically sound. I tested out the shifters, brakes, wheels seem straight. I picked it up for $12!!!! I went home to air up the tires and one of them blew. I thought the tire blew from being an old tube but it actually seemed to be installed incorrectly.
I picked up a new tube on my way home from work this morning, gave it a decent cleaning, and lubed up the chain. It works great!
