I’d like to get back to riding my bike as a form of local transportation for errands and also just for fun and exercise. I’ve got a couple of bikes from years ago when I was riding a lot so, I’m going to try getting them working before I get into buying a new bike. I’m starting with my Trek 930 from 1994, amazingly all the cables, brakes, and derailleurs seem to work fine ( delta some cleaning and lubrication ). It needs new tires and tubes, they’re pretty dried out and I wouldn’t trust them. The rear wheel seems a bit out of true, I’m going to try truing it up since the drive train on this bike is long discontinued and if I have to upgrade it I might as well buy a new bike. The bike needs a bath as well, I’ll probably do that later today. So here’s the before picture:

I also ordered some fenders, a chain guard, and a rear rack to make it more of a utility bike than a mountain bike. Once it is in riding condition I’ll see if I want to replace the handlebars.
