$60 Karakoram. First $100-300 in parts?
My first MTB was a Trek 850(?) Second was a ‘95 Timberline. Still have the T-line frame, but just bought this late 80’s Karakoram. I’ll replace bearings, cables, pads, grips, chain, pedals and clean, lube and tune.
Intended use is upright comfort bike and some easy gravel
Give me a priority list for the next $100-$300, and a few more ideas. Pretty flat where I will do 95% of riding. Its also pretty safe where I live, but I want to be able to lock it up with a cable or U-lock for an hour or two without attracting thieves, so final investment shouldn’t be more than $5-600.
