I’d, really, appreciate any advice (or any kind of input) anyone may have about these bikes, or any other bikes in that price range. Thanks…
That's great, I hope you find a good deal. You may have an 25+ year old bike or two, maybe a Paramount, Colnago, Geurcerotti, or other old technology steel frame. I'll help you out by offering $100 each.
Stop by the Classic and Vintage forum sometime, were we appreciate bikes that age as well as we do.
In the meantime, welcome to the 50+ forum, welcome back to cycling, and keep us informed.
