would taking it to a bike shop to get it tuned up if it has hidden issues be more expensive then just getting a Wingra?
Or do you have any suggestion on what to look for if I go take a look at the FX?
You can count on cables needing replacing. I can't imagine them not suffering from sitting outside unused for so long. Bearings may have rusted too. There could be a lot of hidden corrosion that you can't see without dismantling the bike. If you are good at wrenching, it may be a good deal. Tires, tubes, chains and cables are cheap. Greasing the hubs and servicing the bottom bracket may be all it needs. Too hard to say without laying eyes on it.
