I bought a 2012 Specialized Hardrock at a garage sale for $15, but it needed A LOT of work. I replaced the fork, chain, cables/housings, grips, and tubes. I cleaned up the parts for rust. I also painted the handlebars after cleaning the rust off those.
I have had a lot of people asking why I didn't overhaul the bottom bracket. That was because it was a sealed cartridge bottom bracket.
Final cost was about $70 including the cost of the bike.
I get other people telling me that since it had disc brake mounts, I should have installed disc brakes. Let me see, calipers, rotors, and oh yeah, new wheels that have mounts for the rotors. That would have more then doubled the cost of the bike. I have a video showing that process: • How To Convert To Disc...
