Red bike looks like a Pegasus from the 90s. I got it in 2020 for about 70 EUR, and I've probably invested about double that in fixing it. I don't regret a thing. Despite all of the repairs -- the new tires, overhauled the bottom bracket and both wheels, replaced one crank arm, replaced the front derailleur cable, etc. -- this is still a bike where I won't go too far with it unless I have a few key tools in my bag in case something on it breaks. Most notably, the back wheel assembly tends to tighten up over time, such that I need to make sure to have a wrench to loosen the nuts holding it in place if it should start to lock up.
Great bike. I've learned a lot from this bike.
