| Summer | US $5.00 | 11/20/2008 21:37 | Cable wiring are simple to replace, the cost of the bike itself(frame) is the most expensive to fix..all the minor parts you say are broken, you can do it yourself just read the instructions to a kit you will need from a bike store. Very simple-YES |
| moddman | US $5.00 | 12/08/2008 16:13 | I have plenty of experience building/repairing bikes and have spent more than my share of time rummaging through the used parts bin in my local bike shop. I can give you an idea of cost for parts, general instructions and troubleshooting hints. |
| heather | US $6.00 | 11/13/2008 20:34 | I am a bike commuter and my family owns lots of bikes, so I'm familiar with both new and junker bikes. This bike is not a mountain bike, and I can provide you with tips on what to buy in your new mountain bike-new will be cheaper in the long run. |
