When I see a good bike abused like this I really wish I could set it free, restore it to it's former glory and give it to someone who can appreciate it. And live a cheap MTB/city bike for it's former user.
For reals? Other than Sixty Fiver I don't think there are many people around here that appreciate 28lb loose ball bearing bikes. There are thousands of these bikes sitting in sheds and garages rusting. I'd rather see a bike have it's gears removed and ridden then sit in a shed.
Although that seat is hard to believe. And the stupid angles on the lights, and the lack or bar tape, and the shifter levers still being there, and it looks like the brake levers are at weird angles too. Alright the bike is pretty jack, just your rant was stupid
