I bought a bike in '76 new just like it, a different brand, same bike for seventy five dollars. It was an inside deal. For eighty it's ok but at any price it's not a rewarding ride. Hi-Tens. steel frame, cheap drive train , steel wheels etc. all work in concert rendering performance noticebly infererior. Not being a snob here, it just that a few bucks more (or less), one can find a better bike that'll ride and shift much better. You really WILL notice the difference.
