Racer Bike Vintage
I was going to get it for my gf. She's a casual rider. I offered 75 and he wants 80 should I take it or pass? Thanks

one of the things that makes me love my LBS is that they don't encourage people to nurse this sort of bike along. I saw an impeccable Free Spirit on their junk pile waiting for the recycling guy to come around. Looked like it had never been ridden

Awww that's kinda sad. I love my Free Spirit.



But no more than $20 for the OP bike.

You see many a Free Spirit in LBS and even low cost/free bike coop's scrap piles that look better than this one just pass on. These bikes are just a waste of space.
