I have no idea what you guys are saying. The Sprite was $150.
And it was new. Less than 20 miles for sure.
I miss it though I never rode it. Maybe I should be on "Hoarders".
But I am in control here. I sold 2 more tonight. 1 Sekine and one Gitane.
Here is my Sprite.
And my lovely Apollo Triathlon is also gone. Another young fellow came to look at one of my old Sekine's. He wanted to start the tri-sport addiction but had limited funds.
So I said I have the bike you need and you can have it for exactly what I have into it. And it had a new cartridge BB, new freewheel, new chain and two new front rings.
It was hard selling the Apollo but knowing that it was going to be used by a young guy starting to race made me want to sell it to him.
I sold it for $150
It is a beautiful bike. Not a scratch! But not for long!
