Anyone familiar with Roland bikes?
I found a Roland "Everest" mountain bike on craigslist and cant find a whole lot of info on them so i was hoping someone could shed some light on them. is this bike worth spending 80 bucks on? https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/bik/3231025582.html

looks like its in great shape but Id say it is a low/mid quality department store bike. is that a biopace (oblong) chainring on it?? it might be worth the $85 depending on whats selling in your area and how desperate you are.

the roland is hopefully lighter than your goose (posted 47.4 lbs.). a stiffer ride minus the suspension but it looks like steel which can have natural flex. the thumb shifters on the roland are a drag compared to the gripshifts you have now, maybe swap them over.
I searched bikepedia for roland, no everest but...

apparently I was too quick to call it a department store bike. the team sport was $700 in 01.
go check it out, ride it around. if it feels good, go for it.
