If some one is willing to invest in a basic tool kit, clean/workstand,a repair manual and
invest a little time in upkeep, they are on thier way. Just a matter of time in the saddle
to increase the learning curve. I keep these items in the cellar at work.
A coworker brought in two trashed box store mt. bikes. I cobbled one bike together so
he can do some beach riding with his kids. After I did a test ride, I figured that was a
pretty good bike for what he wants to do with it... It was free too.
