This is my Bike. I bought it about 4-5 years ago. I havent rid it in about 9 months as i got a popped tire and couldnt be stuffed fixing it at the time. I went to the Bike store near my place and they replaced the tube for $16 and now im into bikes again lol.

I dont know what model it is (iom trying to find reviews on it on the net) but it seems pretty solid and the guy at the bike shop said i could get $200-300 for it but im not planning on selling it just yet - my mates trying to get me to buy a GIANT rincon. im still deciding what i want to do with my bike as in bmx stuff, mountain biking or road racing.

So heres some pics. I would also like to know how i could get rid of some rust around the pedals and general maintenance on the bike and pads ?

Thanks

PS. i also need a more comfortable seat (wanting to buy one :D)

Thanks Dude

One thing - Is the sprocket the thing that allows the handle bars to turn 360 degrees ?

no the sprocket is the front cog that your chain goes on and the thing that allows the handlebars to turn 360 is the gyro (the cluster of cables, rings and ball bearings under your stem) oh and welcome to farkin by the way.
