I'm getting this bike for my brother, and I want to know if it is a good deal...
Would it be uncomfortable/impossible to ride on the hoods? It's just bare metal...
Should the rust on the frame be a significant concern? Does the rust look like it would compromise the integrity of the frame? Does anything look wrong with the bike? Does the poster seem legitimate? He/she claims to be a mechanic. I'm not really liking the placement of the brake levers on the handlebars, or the length of the rear brake cable at the rear (too long?).
Thanks in advance.
