I just found this old road bike in a dumpster at my apartment.
Both wheels were bent. I trued the wheels and replaced the missing spokes. Greased everything up and adjusted every cable. New tubes too. So far I love it.
It's my first bike since I was 13 and I have some questions. Most bikes I had as a kid were somewhat comfortable. I understand it's not meant for comfort but is there anything I can do to improve comfort without ruining the point of it being a road bike?
Would riser bars ruin the general posture/balance?
Also getting some pain from the seat. I already put a newer softer road bike style seat on it but it still hurts my ass lol. Is this just something you have to get used to after not riding a bike for 12 years?
