Good evening, sorry if I’m posting in the wrong area. I recently found this bike in front of my elevator, along with other abandoned furniture. Recently I’ve been looking on Facebook marketplace for a bike to ride some trails with hills and bumps. I’m not sure if it’s worth to invest in this bike to take it to my local bike shop for them to bring it up to proper running conditions or just get one from Facebook marketplace in better condition. As far as I can tell there is surface rust on majority of the rotating components, both the tires are dry rotted, and flat (I can replace the tire and tube on the front on my own.) the brakes I can figure out on my own (I haven’t tested them yet), the front suspension I am unsure of if they are seized or something of that sort. As of now it’s chained up with my beach cruiser.
I’m not looking to do anything crazy with the bike just to go out and ride and get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors if anyone could be of any guidance.

No that thing is trash, don’t spend a dollar on it. Find something modern and in better shape for cheap and you will be way happier
I don’t think that’s worth the money or effort to revive.
