I always check out the discarded bikes when I drop off some garbage at the dump. Sometimes I find something old with some usable parts.
This week there was only only this BSO sitting there, All shiny in the sun, with a $20 price tag.
I figured I couldn't go wrong for 20 dollarydoos. Right?
Got it home and had a look over it. Cables stretched, back wheel wobbles around, tight bearings etc.
Looks like it's done one or two rides and a skid in its life, the entire bike looks brand new, except a flat spot on the back tyre.
Figure it can't be that bad, and I can soon grease and adjust it up pretty easily.
So I Aired up the tyres, and they hold air. Off to a good start.
Hop on for a test ride, The suspension is just plain awful. Then on the way back, proceed to snap the pedal in half.
These BSO's really are junk.
Should have left it at the dump!
