Evan - just saw you post this on underachievers. That's a hell of a deal for 20 bucks. Do a search and check out https://sheldonbrown.com/fixed/

haha yeah, its it pretty sweet condition. it has a couple dings with some rust (probably was sitting in a garage for a long while before being brought to the thrift store) but other than that it's great. im stoked cause i've been wanting a road bike for ages but all my $$$ is tied up with more pressing commitments...
