schwinn world sport

I'm thinking of getting this bike but I'm not sure if is
It's worth it or if I can upgrade some of the parts on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Schwinn World Sport 53 cm

Yes its worth 75, needs new tires and probably full grease/clean/tune.

I agree its worth $75. I wouldn't plan on upgrading much. If you have more budget, buy a nicer bike, otherwise enjoy this one as is (with a tune up) and save up for the next one.

Definitely worth the asking price, I see these regularly on my local CL for $150. My riding partner started on one and it's been his backup cyclocross and child hauler bike more recently. In the 3 years we've been riding together I've never heard him complain of any serious mechanical issues, so it seems pretty reliable. Like those before me have said, tune it up and ride.
