- I' ve been to a couple stores and they all kept saying the same thing about my fork - that its bent near the top (just under the vertical part under the handlebar), but I actually don't see anything wrong with it. I googled my bike, and the fork is MEANT to be bent like that??
- My back brake is completely wasted, I cant use it anymore as when I pull the lever, the metal part that protrudes from inside the handlebar just gets jammed - I think because of excess gear/brake cable.
- My chain keeps snapping off every once in a while, about two times a day, and I have to stop and snap the chain back on, or the pedal is going to stay jammed.
- My back wheel is slightly bent, making it rub against the brakepad on the back, making a train-like noise every few seconds.
I just dug it up from the back of my shed after a long while, and when I did google the bike, its worth at least £180, and if i remember I got it for quite cheap (around £40), so I think reparing it will be well worth it.
I want keep the overall repair price under £120, so how much would these repairs typically cost, including purchase of new parts?

Is it even worth repairing, or should I just go out and buy a brand new bike?
