The best bike to #GoByBike may be the one you already have.
There's a whole lot of hope for old bikes, and it's easier than you might realize to turn whatever bike you have into a ride that's perfect for your daily commute. Even if your bike has been neglected, ridden hard, and left outside, a few simple upgrades will go a long way toward getting your bike up and running again.
Don't believe us? Check out the before and after photos of the 7.5 FX below, then keep scrolling to see the upgrades we made to get this model back into riding shape.
Yep, it’s the same bike!
