I bought an old Raleigh reliant. At the first week of using bike, it was fine despite cosmetic damages and a front gear that wasn't connected. Then the brakes which were dusty as hell stopped working as the thing connecting to the brakes bar came off and i couldn't reconnect it. Then the cranks, were a little shaky and loose with the screw to the thing being melded so my friend said he couldn't help me tighten it up. All and all, he said it was a lost cause and recommended me to just buy another. Bought it for 40$ originally, because i was dumb and the guy said it was worth it without me even giving it more than a couple glances before paying.
