I want to learn to ride. I want a REALLY cheap bike to learn on. I don’t care if it’s salvage or has missing body parts. It must start, run, and stop, be perfect mechanically and have good tires. I don’t care if it’s salvage. This is more of a feeler, as I’m finishing a big project at the moment.i I can get a cheap salvage bike to do this easily, but I’ll gladly help someone help me. Not looking for a anyhing over $1k ---
