So, recently I went and got a new chain for my mountain bike, cleaned the drive train ( did this a month before as well but the jockey wheels were looking dirty and I wanted to make sure the whole drivetain was clean before putting on a new chain). So anyway I did all of that, relubed it, then the next day when I went into town to pay for my jersey, the chain kept on skipping and popping.
My bike is a seven speed with 3 on the crank.
so I asked on of the people at the bike shop if he could take a look at it, he rode it then told me that the cassette probably needs replacing.
we went back in to the bike shop and he adjusted the deraileur, which was apparently bent, and said that I should probably replace that too ( I don't remember his exact words), and so I figured that I would be best that I just got a full tune up for it,which would cost about 100, plus parts.
Now just a little while earlier, I found this bike in the trash, and basically it had a light frame but nobby tires
and two gears on the crank, so I figure it might be a cyclocross bike, which is great because that is the exact bike that i'd like for the terraine where I live.
I put some pictures down below.
So now i'm not sure whether I should try and restore the cyclocross bike with parts from the mountain bike, sell both, restore the mountain bike then restore the cyclocross bike, should I just restore the mountain bike and sell the cyclocross bike to a salvager, thoughts?
Also this cyclocross bike is weird, brake calipers are strange and it has a brake cable going through the handle bars.
