Bike looks great, keep it up

[@MASHLEY69]

Thank you 😊

I’m still haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet. I tried to pull one out yesterday to see how the frame sizes fit but couldn’t get it out and it looked like one of the spokes was bending from the metal hook that holds the tire on the rack. I may go back later this week and see if I can get both off the rack, pick a size and order one online so I can assemble myself. Hoping to use this bike to practice bike mechanics on it.

Nice…yep that’s how I started working on these more budget bikes, as you progress in your riding you will also progress in your ability to maintain and work on your own bike. 😊 comes in handy because having the bike shop do all your work can add up quickly

@MASHLEY69 yeah, my road bike needs a tune up and it's like $150 around where I live.

[@MASHLEY69]

@@DannyPimienta ouch! Yep. I understand the cost, but I could never pay someone to do it.

[@DannyPimienta]

@@MASHLEY69 I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one online so I’m forced to assemble it. Looking for pedal, bottle cage and saddle/seat post recommendations to shave some weight off.

Spokes cause flexing too!

[@MASHLEY69]

True

Good to know…I thought they might fit a bit bigger but didn’t want to chance it 😅
