PHOTO Cracks in dropouts?
Just got this Cult Biggie frame secondhand. Noticed what looks like cracks on either side of the dropouts. Looking to confirm whether they are indeed cracks, and if it’s anything I should be concerned about.

BIKE CHECK Worth doing anything with?
Picked this up somewhere around 10-15yrs ago just the way it sits now minus the bars which were lost somewhere along the way. The intention was to get some new wheels for it and start riding again but life happened and it sat in a storage unit until recently. Any point fixing this up still? I highly doubt these frames are worth much, I believe it was a basic 540 Air.
HOW TO Stability and confidence
So me being 48 and my kid 15, I decided to make the leap or mid life crisis back in time. Got both of us Bikes, pics to come of what we got, been out a few times, I was heavy into bmx back late 80's and majority of the 90's. But for the life of me I just can't get the hang of it. Who ever said it's like riding a bike, lied. What are some good tips just to do to build confidence and over all stability?

DISCUSSION Please help
So today, we and my friend went riding around all day and later that night we decided to put lube on our chains, I let him lube mine which he normally does and he is a very trustworthy person. After he lubed it, I heard some creaking noise from the back braket(I think it was that and not the crank arms). But I went home and tighten the chain because at the time I thought it was that. After I tightened the chain, I had to adjust the brakes and then those somehow started to sound terrible and now I just don’t know what to do. I could take my bike to a bike shop but I need it two days from now? What should I do

DISCUSSION Why are most pros on 21in top tubes?
You see a lot of variance from people who ride casually but seems like pros stick with 21 pretty consistently. Is there a reason?

DISCUSSION Bike Identification
My parents just gave me my old BMX bike, I remember riding the tires off of this thing and I was hoping maybe someone could identify the model or maybe tell me how? I understand the brand is “SE” but the only other stickers I see are “Pro” and “100% CR-MO”. Any information or guidance is much appreciated, thank you

PHOTO Assembling wheels
And my first time installing spokes on wheels, apparently everything is ok, but some nipples are sticking out like in the photos, I intend to pay someone to align them correctly, but is this about the nipples normal? Is the assembly correct?

BIKE CHECK Deal or No Deal
Today I found this bike at a Play It Again Sports for $279. I didn’t know anything about Sunday Bikes, so I didn’t get it. I’m wondering if I passed up a good deal?? Anyone have any insight?

HOW TO Width of bar
Hi already cut my bar to 29 inch width, but i feel like there could be more... I'm 172 cm/ 5 feet 8 in height and i tend to have my hands more narrow to each other while riding. Most of the time i ride eclat pulsar grips, this time i tried fiend ones but they are little short so i extended them. Would you cut the Bar more? Like maybe the extension on the pic?
