>>1945414>If it's not particularly high spec then you should probably try to get a better project before you start dumping money into your shitter.Why would I want to buy a better bike, then dump money onto it, versus just fixing up a bike that I've been using for years as a commuter-beater and will continue to do so?
Sure, the money will be more than than it's worth in the end, but whatever, I care little.
>Repainting it or getting new wheels is especially ridiculous.I've seen people bash repainting a bike here a lot, and idgaf. The paint is chipping, but the frame is in good condition.
Replacing dented wheels seems pretty logical to me.
>It sounds like you don't really know how to work on bikes either, so I would suggest you attempt jobs one by one.That's the plan
>Shifting issue is likely your cables, or, your shifter being gummed up, or, your rear derailer being poorly adjusted and or bent.Are there any guides you can point me to? I don't know what's the "proper" way or good.
>>1945415>alivio T400 v-brakes Yep, I was looking at those. The cables are at the end of their life as well.
It doesn't need to be special, I don't need adamantium instant stopping power, just functional and decent quality.
>I HATE schwalbe marathonsAny suggestions, then?
