Got this baycrest (I think ccm made them) mixte. Cleaned up nice. Suntour components. Already on craigs
And I bought this 98 GT STS DS
It was cheap, but when I went to look at it I saw it was a hodge podge of parts and the frame needed bearings replaced BAD. I really shoulda walked away, but I bought it for under 2 bills. I wanted a STS bad back when I was in high school, but ended up getting something else.
Took it apart last night after kind of washing it (the dirt is fully encrusted and my hose wasn't powerful enough). Wished I'd just re-sold it. 2 shocks bolts/washers were broken, the chainring had almost no teeth left (behind the chainguard), the fork needs new bushing (i knew that when I bought it), and everything else is pretty worthless, beside the seat and post. I'm torn between getting new parts for the frame and making it a rider once again, or just cutting my losses and selling it as is. A new main pivot bushing is $80, it needs about $10-20 in hardware, and likely another bushing or two (around $30 each). A good condition similar frame just sold on ebay for $207 with some spare parts. ugh.
