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?

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.

For the amount you would spend on parts and tools you could get a better bike and just repair it as it breaks
You will spend a lot of time and hundreds of dollars just to end up with a Walmart bike
