A higher end vintage mtb will eat hills. They have the easier gearing, and with slick tires, run well. Now some low end old mtb, forget it. The goods at least around here is that the high end mtbs tend to sell for $25 to$50 of the low end stuff.
The Panasonic Sport will not be a light bike, by road bike standards.
In a good market, you eitherneedto. Launch on a deal, or be prepared to pay full price, maybe higher tha full price. CL is a public outlet, and there're scoopers in just abouteverymarket pouncing on the deals.
I picked up a bike off CL last week, probably 80% under market. Guys phone was ringing off the hook, I got it about 15 minutes after thead was posted. I'll probably add it to the keeper fleet.
