Hi there,
I haven't posted on here for a while. I was outside the country for most of last year!
I was just wondering what to do about my bike.
I have a Trek 1000, 04 model, that is pretty tired. I was hit by a car the other day and now have a buckled rear wheel and broken shifter. Along with this the gearing is clunky, cables need tightening often, the crank clunks, pedal is broken and I need new tyres.
It has served me well! I rode it everyday and it's been to France twice! So I like it a lot, but…
Should I replace it or fix it? I would buy something of similar quality/value because im not that keen of a rider, and cash is always a democratiser! If I fixed it I could get some better quality gear, but would it be worth it?
Any advice welcomed!
Cheers
J
