>>1920419That's a GT talera
GT is one of the better old mtb brands
I think it's got Altus or Acera. It's not a high end model.
But it will have a cromo or partially cromo frame.
In my experience, how those tier of frames rides, is quite random, for road bikes also. Some are dull, some are quite fun. If your impression of a bike is bad it's also just as likely to be because you don't like the fit or you have shot bearings or shitty tires on it.
Personally I do think bikes of that tier are worth it, if nothing higher spec is available, and you like the paint. What's not worth it with them is pouring money in on fancy parts, 1x build, new groupset, insane, but time, and consumables, maybe some hacky conversion with parts bin stuff, yeah, worth it.
What I recommend with bikes like that, is try to get it riding. Work out if you like how it rides, and you like the fit, before you turn it into a project. If you don't like it, pass it on.
>>1920419>Looks very neglected. You'll have to fight it when servicing it.You're insane. It has a mint dork disc, non-ripped saddle, and no sign or dirt or wear anywhere. It has lived a life inside, and the boomer riser, still existant tanwall tire, and intact reflectors imply it's been barely ridden. It has a decent alloy seatpost, and quick release wheels, both signs of quality, also, decent metal cantilever brakes.
