Where can you get tacos that cheap?

Don’t forget about the 3 million Views on this video he made a lot more money

Nutca5e stop stealing comments

Yes she is stealing

I don't think he rode into the bush like me

Imagine just going on a search engine and seeing what happened to your bike and then seeing that. Ahaha.

I have also a steel version of that too that was originally owned by my dad. Me and my younger brother broke it and it's frame is sitting in the storage for around 20 years. We revived it with new parts, welded disk brake caliper mounts and coverted it from thread type hub into a cassette type and now it was an awesome commuter bike where our streets are quite a bit rough and unpaved.

Me too. He could’ve got more for resale and bought him a Burrito and still have money leftover.

It's a Walmart tier bike. The parts needed to get it back in working order, not even full rebuild, would be more than buying it new.

I’m annoyed he tossed all the plastic parts. I could use an extra sprocket wheel. Mine is a bit…used - supposed to be red, worn and somehow dyed black from dirty oil, can’t seem to be cleaned. I think he kept the bike seat though. Maybe the pedals? I can’t tell. Hopefully he kept the useful bits.

No way, $30 tops, half that if used. Americans are so wasteful

My bike is always In my room lol. But Seth what are your thoughts about kona bikes? Are they worth it

I always throw my BMX but then I also apologize to it

Lol, If i threw mine My Daddy would have a big rage xD

You'd have a hell of a time getting $10, let alone $20, for an old Walgoose. At least where I live there is no interest in these cheap bikes.

@@621ELECTRONICS not for mtb, but someone poor would need it

@@blaxpy1463 True, the ones in perfectly good riding shape, yes, are just fine for transportation, but in this condition many poor people can't afford to fix them / buy a new wheel or other part. I have tried to sell bikes like this, and I can get them for free all the time, most needing work of some sort, which often far exceeds resale value if it does need parts, even just a set of tires / tubes. I sell bikes like this for $2 "complete" when I pickup scrap metal / bikes, and they get shipped to another country where bikes are harder to come by and they don't mind doing a little work on them. This at least saves them from the scrapyard, but otherwise not much interest, especially if they even remotely need some work, and most need something; if those people don't buy them from me, they go to the scrapyard (although I do not bother breaking them down, not worth all the time). I get what you're saying, and has potential to be basic transportation, even if the wheel is bent back straight / somewhat rideable, but still many people are not going to pay $10-$20 for a Walgoose or similar, or spend any money to fix them up. I've sold low end Trek's, Diamondback's & Schwinns for $10-$20, but not any Walgoose or similar super cheap bikes.

@@621ELECTRONICS i understand it, but seth didn't get any money on that bike considering the fuel cost, so it would make more sense on this case to give it to a random homeless and he would be pleased, a bike like that is better than nothing, here in argentina you can see a lot of poor people and some of them ride bikes on woorse condition than that one

it isn't safe, selling it knowing that is sure to bring some bad karma

@@orppranator5230 hmm, good thought. But still... Lol

But second hand and give their work a little more life.

@@matth6284 No it doesn't, to the price of scrap metal you add the cost of remelting it, the profit of the scrapyard, the cost of making a sheet then a tube with it, and one or two resellers before the plant building the bike. Plus recycled steel usually cost less than "new" one (rust faster from what I understand) If the frame isn't make of regular round tube but some other shape, it's even more expensive to make. Anyway the tubes alone are probably worth around 20 bucks.

@@C4H10N4O2 Then why did seth get a measily 3 bucks

and then goes and trashes the whole bike. Yeah yeah, sent some parts to a recycler but the energy, transport, hours put into that bike, it was still a waste. Far worse for the environment than spraying a bit of WD40 (hydro carbons and mineral oil) in a forest

Just for show, just for show..

The lengths these kids go to virtue signal. The rest of the story...seth took up fishing and discovered that a nice spritz of WD40 makes lures irresistible to monster bass.

Me either! But Seth puts so much useful information in his videos, I'm a better rider for watching them.

I started to watch his videos when I was researching to fix my bike and even if I don't ride it as hard nor as often as he does, I love all of his videos.

same here!

Hey man! You should join the squad. Mountain Biking is an awesome sport and a great way to get exercise. Also, the people in mountain biking super friendly (except the “idiot”in this video) and nice. There are many trails everywhere you go and you don’t even have to ride at a trail, you can just ride at the streets or somewhere else. Therefore, Mountain biking is a an amazing sport everyone could do.

Bikes like that aren't ridable off road, but they'll probably do fine for putting around at 10km/h like most people do.

A cushy pub bike.

Thanks for fighting the good fight man!

@@iunnox666 A guy on my cross country team tore his ACL. During rehab he racked up 2,800 miles on a Genesis Wal Mart full suspension bike. I offered to let him use a spare police model Fuji I had setup for light trail riding but he declined. The fork seized up first, then the rear shock, then things got weird. The bike just started getting loose. Like I'd tighten things but the low quality hardware would just shred when I went to tighten things the third or fourth time. Tires were scavenged from long abandon bikes on campus. It was impressive.

The right way to scrap is by the truck load. And don't bother with the break down. The grinder will do that.

You don’t?

safety first

Just you

Seriously. I don't know what Seth was thinking. I'm a broke college student and I ride a bike worth $10. I would kill for that bike.

skeptic moderate where you at? If you’re close enough to me I’ll take you something.

Seth knows its not so safe to ride that bike with those wheels. so i think this is why he didnt sell it as it is. For somebody with little bicycle knowledge it could be dangerous

I think he didn't want to be responsible for anyone riding a bike that dangerous.

Yeah, but that wheels are dirt cheap, buy used ones, or you maybe have spares. He already invested time, part and money in fixing it to rideable condition, why not finish it and give it to some neighbor kid who would love to ride it. No one normal would drive that on that dirt tracks, but some kid on suburban street would sure want to. I know this is made for fun but it didn't have to end this way 😀🚴

Well that bike is dangerous they should not be allowed to sell “mountain bikes” like that

@@remotecontrolcentral4928 that bike would of been fine for riding to and from the store

DEREK GILENO it was actually fine for basic travel. I fix a lot of bikes and can tell it works enough to ride around to shops.

A co-op would be able to make it safe with a set of used wheels and cables from another bike with a broken frame.

@Brisdad53 Seth rode it down a mountain, I'm sure with tuning up it would be fine for mild use on the streets.

@Brisdad53 Most mountain bikers aren't dicks* Some 100% are, as is with all things Humans be dicks yo

Good point bro. If what you said is real then I feel sorry for the dude.. He literally just got called an 'idiot'

As far as I know this is his trails but I'm probably wrong

might be a little late but in the description he said he was in Pisgah National Forest

@@plasmism6501 oh oops

And both went through a process of recyclement

Selena Bose While I considered this, the cost of the new wheel, two new tires, new cables all around, and new brake pads would have been close to the brand new cost of this bike, and certainly more than the used value. To call it “safe”, this is what it would take. The original owner left the bike in the woods because it would have cost them more to drag it out, so my goal was to remove trash from the forest.

@@kanggoo57 also a poor 10 year old?

@@SethsBikeHacks Part of the problem is the need to make everything 'safe' and everybody obsessing over having their bikes to the same standard as professional racers.
