I thought it was a funny anecdote when I grabbed it. Little did I know I would have to spend more money repairing the beater than buying it.
>>1557474Buy cheap buy twice. I could have gotten a bike from this decade for 150€ but thought because it is a beater for chaining outside the trashier the better. It is turning out to be very expensive trash.
Bike: 100€
Pads, tape: 30€
Chain: 10€
Cassette, rings: 60€
Ancient Look cleats: 20€
5501 STI rubber hoods: unobtainable
At least it had a very shiny pair of new Shimano wheels
