Found a free bike...need input.

I have not-so-fond memories of the Murray mtb I bought in 1985 destroying the rear derailleur shortly after purchase. It was used, but still in good condition. Well, as "good" as a BSO can get anyway.

I relearned how to ride a bike (in the month before buying my bike) on a Murray mtb. The thing was a death trap--almost non-functional brakes, among other issues. It was borrowed from a friend who got it for $25 at a yard sale. Yeah...
