How to determine if my ride is a good candidate for resto-mod?
Context: Despite picking this up back in 2019 (Craigslist, $150) it’s essentially been my commuter for school all this time and thus I’m still quite new when it comes to bicycles and their components and care. I’m at the point now however where I have a bit more free time (and money) and would like to try getting into cycling more seriously and beyond just riding to/from work.
Initially, I had figured I’d need to upgrade to a newer bike for the road (I’m also hoping to pick up a cheap local gravel bike) but then I came across this subreddit. And the ethos is quite appealing. The part I don’t have the knowledge to asses is, and that I’m hoping someone here could help determine, is this old Viner bike actually a platform that would be reasonable to attempt a resto-mod on?
