Great family down the street that my dog and their dog are best buds have three daughters that are super responsible and very accomplished; the parents work real hard to take care of the kids. I’ve done a few small repairs on the girls bikes- I “lie” a bit and tell them I have parts just sitting around- well, they are sitting around after the UPS or Amazon driver leaves them!
They had a broken down bike for the youngest daughter and I gave it a going over this weekend, tires were rotted and flat, some cables were broken, the bottom bracket needed grease, there was some rust and it was dirty.
I had a new set of tubes, tires, spoke guard, brake and shifter cables “just sitting around”, so I gave it a clean and even waxed the frame.
I think it came out nice- I even rode it to their house about a mile away with a good sized hill- not easy to ride a 20” bike when you’re a grown man.
