I was headed down to get my stepson from school when I spotted a bike with "free" on it. Intrigued, I went closer to it - I was excited to see "Made in USA" on it so I grabbed it and walked it and my Trek to the school hahaha.

It is steel and extremely heavy. It says Roadmaster and Kodiak and ATB on it. It would appear that was once a bike sold in Sears (not good) but I'm wondering if it's worth keeping as a beater bike due to being "made in USA?" The wheels are out of true, the brakes still work/dunno about the shifting.

My DH looked at me like I am insane when I showed it to him, he thinks it is "too heavy." I've always thought, to some extent that "steel is real."

Rehome it? Fix it up as a grocery-getter/beater bike? It was free...
