Wash it down and you'll probably get $100 if not a little less. Southern California is an okay market.

so your selling this like that? does it have a real track hub or just a BNX freewheel and no brakes? looks dangerous to me.

I took the freewheel off and put a cog on there with some loctite. The last time i did this it stayed on there for a year, and i am keeping the bike myself.
