He said the repair of $200 is really not worthy it, since I could not sell it for $200 after the repair. I appreciate his honestly.
Do you think it's worth it?
Of course it’s worth it. And so could a new $1000 bike. When I had many bikes and rode a lot a bike went through a wheel set every couple years and drive train once or twice a year.
