Garage Sale
For all of those out there who don't believe road bikes can be picked up at garage sales...
Picked up this Norco Monterey SL at a garage sale for 30$. Steep? Maybe, but the bike works. Only had to fix the rear inner tube, and it runs great! Gave it to a friend who's trying to get into road cycling. It's the right size for her and all, too. Paint is in pretty good shape.
For those who like color:
and of course, where would we be without Slimer?

I did a good search of garage sales today but no luck. Most garage sales today were actually gabage sales.

Wow. What is that - an early 1990's vintage machine?
Why do I picture some dude with parachute pants and a Vanilla Ice flat-top riding that bike?
The horn has to be worth $30.00 all by itself.
Nice catch!

Did it escape after it got off the leash?

That's awesome! Lots of personality in that bike 
That reminds me, its starting to be garage sale time again, so I've gotta get out and see if I can find any deals.
