I've only started riding recently since childhood. I spend most of my time in the city. Traffic can get a little crazy here but zipping around makes it worthwhile.

I picked up a beat up road bike from a friend of mine recently for next to nothing. I have been visiting a local DIY shop in an attempt to save the poor thing. So far I have replaced the tubes/tires. I've also changed the front break lines. I will get some pictures up soon in the right sub-forum. I am hoping for advice on whether money spent on parts will be worth my time.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
