Brand new Conti tires on Wolber rims, a new U lock and a new helmet put me over the edge. So I talked him down to $130 (which was tough because he said he had gotten over a dozen emails) b/c the rear wheel is less than straight and it needs bar tape.
Looks nearly identical to shis one. (
Borrowed from DVC45 hope you don't mind)
I'm not trying to keep buying these bikes to flip, I'm looking for a keeper but they keep being too big but still too good of a deal to pass up so I buy them anyway...In the last last week I picked up 58cm Super Course and a 56cm Trek 1000 as well with no real intention to sell. For all three bikes I'm in it for about as much as one of them will sell for so I guess it isn't that bad.
Sorry for the rant, enjoy your Saturday. It is beautiful in New England I don't know about the rest of the world but if it's nice there too then get out and ride
Not at all! I just got reunited with that bike. I gave it to my nephew in Virginia 2.5 years ago. He gave it back to me when he visited here about a month ago, since he never use it ( really, I did not ask him to
).
' not sure now if I'll flip it or keep it. It rides nice an it fits me just fine. I'l probably start a keep it or flip it thread for this one.
