This a good deal?
Hey guys, there isn't too much info on this bike since it's custom, but do you think it's a good deal? I loooovvee how it looks, and I'd like to have a bike to complement my cyclocross

Thanks!

This is a good deal, can't make it fixed, but you can flip it for close to $400 if you can figure out the shifters. (try soaking the crap out of them with WD40 to break up the gunked up grease in them).

if you buy this, I'll give you $50 plus shipping for the pedals and seat. That's a start right there.

Hey dude, I really appreciate the advice and offer. I'm just worried that the shifters will be difficult to fix and it'll be more hassle and time than it's worth.

I know it's a decent amount of work, but that's a steal for that bike.

The Flite in those photos looks to be in pretty nice condition, and it's one of the original ones and not the reissue. I paid $50 for mine and the one there looks to be in better condition. You could probably get ~$60 for the saddle alone.

Ugh you guys are making it hard for me. The thing is, I'm leaving June 13 for a two month long internship that involves me biking 25-40 miles somedays pulling all my gear + sometimes a 50lb trailer. I don't think I'd have time to flip it in time, plus I live about an hour away from the Craigslist person.
Really just looking for a bike to tide me over till my internship...a nice one that I could actually use would be nice hah. Seems like my best luck would be prowling CL constantly? Any entry-level bikes that are worth it? I got a sweet deal for my Cannondale xr800 ($200 and in good condition), so I don't really wanna spend too much for a secondary bike

If that's the case, go get one of those $100 walmart fixies and then sell it for $50 when you're done with it.
Here's one- at least you know it can't be THAT beat on.

I still wanna use the bike for years...I looked up reviews for the Thruster and I think I'll pass.
How about this? I'd be willing to make the price IF it's a good deal. Thanks so much for everyone's help, there is so much to learn about bikes
