I owe my re-entry into biking to the Goodwill. I had just been notified my cholesterol was high for my age. Then i was at goodwill looking at halloween costumes. and saw an Outfitters Mountaineer for $30. from what i've researched they're like a cheap Iron Horse, so half a step above an xmart bike, it weighed 31 lbs, had satin red finish, hourglass seatstays, Acera-x drivetrain, suntour duotrack fork, aluminum wheels, sram grip shifts. it was pretty much new, brakes and derailleurs didn't even need adjusting, both tires were flat, i just pumped them up and they held air, added a $7 computer and better seat and rode it for about 270 miles in 6 months and got the bug and upgraded to a trek 4500.
