Trek 400 Craigslist Find

The ad had no pictures and only a brief description; but for $20, it was worth the risk. Although missing a seat and badly neglected, I was very happy with what I found. I overhauled the bike and spent an additional $40 on parts. I replaced the handlebar tape, cables, seat, seatpost, tires, and tubes. The bottom bracket, headset, and hubs were lubed and serviced. I didn't replace the chain and freewheel, but I did clean them. Although its missing cable ends and a crank bolt, I am very happy with the outcome.
