yeah, i recently got the bike for $150 (there were many interested buyers, so i just paid for it and decided to do the research after the fact... can resell in a second if i decide i can't tour with it this summer).
for a new decent touring bike, i'm looking at $1500 for a LHT. def don't have that kind of cash at the moment. but i don't mind putting a little into this old, albeit little used, bike.
