I had one just like that in college that was given to me for free. AKA it was trash. The drive train was trash, and i didn’t have the money to fix it. The bike was just good enough to go about 6 blocks to class and back. It skipped gears really bad because the gears were worn out. It was so bad I didn’t lock it up in front of my place. One morning, I came out, and it was gone….. I found it 40 ft from my storage spot. Ditched on the sidewalk … the theft turned around and ripped off my neighbors bike. I dumbed to the bike the anti theft bike.

Just make sure to check for chain stretch. If you can catch it before the chain destroys the cassette and rings, the bike will last you a long time.
