Thanks I agree. The other bike I'm considering is a Specialized Expedition. It's been upgraded to Ultegra with brifters, for better or worse. Asking price on that is $650. Would love to hear ppl's recommendations.

This expedition, https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/bik/4521898036.html? It's a better value than the fuji america at $750 which is overpriced even for a hot market. The expedition is probably worth the asking price even though I don't like what has been done to it. It is a fine bike though.

ha yes, though i wasn't posting the link for a reason! yeah it's kinda ugly as he has it set up, but so it goes. it's something to start with, right?

he doesn't have the original bits, sadly. he bought it as a frame.

This is a very nice bike but really only worth $450-500. Myself I would only $400. As setup provided everything is good the expedition is closer to markert value $550-650.

I just passed on a rough (rusty) condition one just like this, seller was asking 100, but it was too much of a project....

i did, for $560. i think i did well, given how much they seem to be going for on ebay. needs a little love and new consumables, but nothing dire.
