$60 Cannondale Mountain bike https://mohave.craigslist.org/bik/5798465069.html I've already spent about $800 this month on bicycles or I'd go pick it up anyway. Wondering if this is just an okay deal or am I going to regret not buying it.

Ha don't know, don't really need it, I guess I would just tune it up and ride it . Not sure what those frames weighed but for my riding I'd maybe change the fork out for something a little lighter and turn it into a legit hybrid or flat bar road bike.

It's going to be a fairly light frame, not so sure about the rest of the components though, lol.

I had a CAAD2 rigid ("Sobe" promotional) that I picked up cheap on Craigslist and it was a light and fun bike... this is a little older, from the pre-CAAD days (late 90's?)

For sixty bucks, you can't go too far wrong. What does that buy these days, a decent stem?

Looks more like a hybrid than a MTB.

N+1 is great, but wield it wisely!

One factor to be wary of on vintage bikes is that many of them can't fit tires over 2.1 width.
