Okay Ive been fooling around on my old 20 for the past month or so. Its a 98 or 99 Gary Fisher Pure Bender Flip. Nothing special with it, one piece crank, plastic pedals, brakes that dont work, wheels that spin barely, a gyro and other low grade components.
So I want to have a 20 DJ/Street bike that I can go to when I dont feel like riding the 26. Is this frame worth doing anything too, it has open bearings in the BB and threaded cups. The welds on the frame dont look that deep so Im a little weary about it snapping on me. I think the fork may be a bent forward too, and the dropout gussets on the front and back are freakin huge.
If the above is just ****, which I assume it is since I bought it when I didnt know **** about good bikes, I need some good suggestions on a less expensive, bare bones DJing bike. Im 6 tall, 170 lbs and pretty light on the wheels, so nothing too beefy; I also like a lighter bike. So either some suggestion on solid bikes I could get off ebay or local, or a cheaper full build new bike.
Thanks
