wow that's a daring ad, my friend

who would be bold (in the sense of suicidal) enough to ride FIXED with these drop outs anyway ?
they look like they'll get torn apart if you ever put too much pressure on the pedals...

not mentioning the oversize one-piece style bottom bracket...

$20 is about what I'd charge to haul it away.

It's hard to tell, but it looks like it might have an FFS system. Could be worth an offer of $10.

Yep. FFS and Positron shifting. Might be worth it if you were to use it for a parts bike. Otherwise, I'd offer him $5 and a cheese sandwich.

wow that's a daring ad, my friend

when i was about eight, i wanted to sell my bike, so i put it out on the front lawn with a sign that read, "5 dollars or more".

i guess i was a humanist at the time. :chuckle:

What's most shocking to me is that such a bottom-level bike with utterly craptastic dropouts and stays would also have internal cable routing.

those frames were pretty heavy-duty. The only problem I ever fixed on one was the sheet metal plate bridges would break off because they were only spot welded in 4 places. Never saw a broken or loose dropout, even though they are generally spot welded
