He now finally had a functional bike, which was perfectly suited for commuting in a hilly urban environment.
The total cost for him, ended up being around 93$.
This included:
>complete disassembly.>rust removal of frame and parts>paint restoration with wet wax.>rear derailleur service>installing new cables>servicing brakes, and mounting new pads.>indexing gears and adjusting brakes>a new, old front wheel>a new rear wheel, with cassette and tyre>a new chain>fresh handlebar tapeAll in all, a weeks spare time used, and considering the bikes original cost, probably not worth it.
