That being said, it is a low caliber bike. I'd put cruiser bars on it, get a basket and make it a grocery getter/knock around bike. A job it is well suited for.........
Summed up nicely. My buddy picked up a "bad" bike next to the neighbor's trash. It gets regular use. I've said it before, love it for what it is, don't hate it for what it's not.
