My mom has a rigid 90s mtn bike. What can I say to her to invest

>>1055011
I feel sorry for her having to put up with your shit

>>1055012
Actually I'm trying to bond with her. If she had a nice bike we would ride together often.

>>1055015
But a 90s rigid MTB can be a nice bike
How about instead of trying to get her a different bike, you fix up the one she already has?

>>1055018
I could try...

not sure if op is trolling or not....

but to get my mom riding
I took her old unused rigid MTB

put on slick tires
fenders
upright 3spd style 'north roads' city bike bars
cruiser saddle
oh, and don't forget the bell, moms love bells

she rides all the time on that thing now

>>1055046
No troll. She's gonna bring the bike by tomorrow and I'll assess what needs to be done.

Good call on the bell, btw.

Alright, I'm going to fix up the bike she has.

I really want to spray paint it silver and put the word "diamond" somewhere on it. (family name)

Any tips on how to re-finish a flakily painted bike with rust spots?

>>1056200
Treat rust spots with naval jelly
Sand gently but thoroughly
Use self-etching primer for first coat
Allow coating to dry THOROUGHLY before doing anything else
Gently wet-sand with very, very fine sandpaper
Apply thin coat of paint
DRY, DRY, DRY
Repeat previous 3 steps a couple times
???
Profit

Just got the bike. Paint isn't as bad as I thought.

>>1055011
just let your mom ride what she enjoys. road bikes are uncomfortable and not fun for 99% of people. If you can't be nice and ride slow with your mom then you're a terrible son.

No need to be rude anon.

>>1056336
She's quite athletic......

>>1055011
buy some Schwalbe 559 spicer to make it a real road bike.
with the Proven K-guard anti-puncture belt!

lol no

She's probably wondering how to get her faggot kid onto a real bike and stop pretending that he's some kind of race hero.

>>1055011
How about "Merry Christmas Mom, here's a new bike" or "Happy Birthday, I got you this bike"

lol, forgot about him

>>1056200
OK, so which one are you related to?

>>1057654
Nobody. I actually don't have a family and I don't know a single soul in the whole world.
