Okay so its not a mountain bike, its a BMX.
someone has offered me a Mongoose BMX with a bit of surface rust for 50$.
Since I've never done anything major mechanical before on a bike I was thinking that this might be a good bike to tear down and rebuild, maybe even strip the paint and re paint it.
it supposedly has a bit of surface rust but thats about all thats wrong with it.
any opinions or suggestions?

Hmm…depends on how much is wrong with it, but for $50, it's probably worth some fun.
Hell, I'll buy it for $50 if you don't want to ;)

I know I just thought I'd give you credit at the beginning so that people didnt think it was my own idea:)

easy shit yo
[marquee]Yo a lot of bitches are talking shit but they dont even want to come front and step up, they all talk and it just encourages me. They dont wanna bounce so im battlin me. I dont turn tables and I dont spray cans, I kinda be-bop but I dont breakdance, I MC thats what i do. Gladly, so any muthafuckas go ahead and challenge me… Hey wait a minute you call that shit a dope introduction? It kinda sounds to me like its lyrical destruction… Because it is. Will be and always shall be, deploy and destroy against the fake MC's… Such as you? Because to tell you the truth, your skill's equivalent to that of a youth. You couldnt even beat a mute who was deaf, dumb and blind because you stutter in your rhymes every single time… No I dont no I wont, you got it backwards. My flow is flawless, I kick your ass like Lucy Lawless. I sound concited but Im still being modest. Im the hottest MC to ever rock the mic… NO YOU AINT you're not even the least bit tight, you come 'round here thinking that you could ignite but you couldnt light it up if you were dynamite. You got no skills on the mic because you be wack, I only listen to you to have a good nap. All your tracks suck and I cannot believe that people on napster download your mp3's… You're damn right they do and it proves that its true, mr. JRA will demolish you… BULLSHIT you dont even got rhythm in your flow, you're giving peeps headaches they need tylonol. Nabisco, I shred like wheat and I defeat millions of MC's per day and everyweek. And for you to say that I aint flowin like aquatics is ignorant bitch and damn straight idiotic… Bionical ninja Im here to upstage ya. 6 million dollars wouldnt even sustain ya, you'd sell out in a second for the glamour and glitz instead of keeping it real with the kibbles and bits.. The only thing I sell out is tickets, that for my shows. Now quit accusing bitch before I give a bloody nose, chop off your toes, slap your face like a fucking hoe and Ill even go as low as making you hear your own flow… You're making my ears bleed bitch so shut the fuck up, you think you're hot as hell but you cannot even cook. Ya cant serve dope rhymes like the ones i be supplying, even if you put in all your effort and kept trying… You aint even fightin, Im still standin' defiant. Compared to me, I am the undisputed lyrical giant. Your rap literature is miniature compared to mine, you spit the same rhymes and lines every single time. I got the power of a meteor shower in my rhymes plus the madness of two Columbine kids combined. So when you diss me, you be dissing yourself cuz rhymin against me is just bad for your health… Hey be quiet you better quit your fuckin ramblin… Why is that? You cant even handle the battlin. Go ahead call your backup using your cellphone. Ill knock you all down when im in the stealth mode, just giv'r bitch, you dont even got a chance. It seems to me already that you pissed in your pants.[/marquee] I NO YOUR KIND

bmx's are great fun, low maintenance, and make you a much much smoother mtber
go for the restore :) Sounds like it would be both fun, and a good learning experience. Best of all, if you fux something up real bad, then it's not a big deal!
the teh
Yea, BMX's are pretty simple compared to your average MTB, and surface rust is easy to remove.

ya fuck you windows. fuck you too door.
ya, there way easier to maintain than a mountian bike, less parts (ex. deraillurs, cogs, forks, etc.)
i tried restoring a bmx before… but it was a painstaking job and it was taking up a big chunk of my free time so i sold it to a friend
it was scuffed up and half-painted…but i think he still has it
just polish and get new chain/headset/seat etc etc..
