Hi. I am new at this. I want to buy a bike that I can tune up and customize. I have been volunteering at a nearby co-op to learn basic bike servicing and I want a bike of my own at this point to get my hands dirty with.
I am supposed to meet this seller today to buy the KHS Express listed in the ad below. Is this a decent deal? I have searched google images, forums, etc to see any restored versions of this bike and just haven't seen that many. My novice impression is that KHS is a good brand nowadays- I have no idea about this older bike though.
Thanks.
