Rebuilt MTB.

Hey all! This is a old bike that i found by a dumpster that i rebuilt. I wasnt thinking and didnt take any before pics. Just imagine the worst and thats was it. Couldnt even see any chrome on the rims of this bike , it was that bad. Still not finished i want to replace all cables and derailers but i have to wait a while. This is what i have done so far.


I like the color its loud. Thought of going black but it was black(with two tone RUST) when i found it. So i thought that it needed a new look. Im over 6' so it doesnt fit me as well as i'd like. Might put it in the yard sale this summer. Not my best work but im a little rusty myself lol

Looks like fun.

That bike probably doesn't deserve the work you put into it, but it does look good.

Rebuilding bikes is so fun Especially when you pull them from a dumpster/trash can

Looks good. I recently did a rebuid on a bike I got from Play it Again Sports for $10. To me just what I learned from working on it was worth the money I put into new parts for it.
