here's another view

Pump up those tires and see whether they hold air.

If not > new tubes.

Cracks in the sidewall of the tire are not necessarily = dead tire. If the carcass is sound (fabric) you can use them for a while.

See if the brakes work. If they are hard to press, you want to
a) take out the cables and put some oil into the housing
b) use new housing and cables
c) check the caliper arms. If they don't move easily, take off and use grease on the bosses, then reassemble.
d) Check whether the caliper arms have the same spring tension. You can adjust them with the tiny screw at the caliper arms.

Your chain probably will be fine. Just ride and see wether is makes ugly sounds. If yes, use only little oil.

Have fun.

If you don't know anything about bike maintenance just take it to your local bs, it looks rideable.

Addition:

If your derailleur acts up, repeat steps a) or b) on shifting cables/housings.

Finally, check your bearings (steering head, bottom bracket, hubs) whether they spin freely or have too much clearance (you can move the tire sideways, the fork moves back and forth with engaged brake, the pedal arms/chainrings are not tight/can be moved sideways).

>>1002360
looks like you left it outside and never took care of it.


grease bearings, cranks, headtube, axles ect
I'd just get new tires and tubes and not even see if they will hold air or not
new cables and housing
basically take the entire bike apart and clean out whatever gunk and filth may have found its way in.

you would probably spend up $100 maybe under$50 if you get walmart tier products

>what can i do to bring it back to life?

use a rejuvenation spell, you will however need a sacrifice, looking at your bike all you will need is maybe a small woodland creature or a cat/dog. You will have to chant to sheldon brown several times and will have to draw a 52 chainring in chalk on the ground around your bike.

>thinking a guy who owns a BSO knows how to do any of that

A full overhaul at a bike shop is like 150$ and OP said he doesnt have money, are there any bike co-ops near you?

>>1002360
you can start by turning the front wheel around. it's on backwards.

re: tyre tread

>>1002360
Into the trash it goes

>>1002364

>>1002382

>>1002383

>52 chainring
you'll kill us all

>>1002360
That doesn't look bad at all, just pump the tyres and clean the cassete and chain/oil the chain. If everything isn't broken it will be cheap and you will have a commuter at least.

>>1002360
the brake pad are likely petrified - replace them.
brake levers look identical to the plastic pieces of crap on my old sears MTBSO - replace them with metal levers that won't fracture.

>>1002360
Decathlon, should be of OK quality

>>1002360

Your drivetrain (chain, cassette specifically) looks totally fucked

If there is rust down there, things will be more complicated. Listen to what everyone else said and see what happens

If the chain is rusted and things are fucked-up, come back and ask specifically what to do in a /bqg/ thread -- bring pictures of the chain+cassette area
