A place to ask bicycle repair questions, and for bike shop monkeys to share advanced non commercial wrenching resources (no YouTube self promotion). This is only for repair related topics.

I never repaired anything in my life, but could be a fun way to learn how bikes work. Breaks don't work. Chain and gearing is rusted to hell. Is it too far gone to bother with?

Chain looks like a goner, but the rest looks fun. get a decent penetrant spray, not just oil and get messy working it in.
