I went into a "bicycles for poor people" type shop the other day, mind you I wasn't there to deflate their good bike population that wouldn't be very sporting of me, I was however looking for a 531 frameset which supposedly are like garbage to them..I couldn't help but notice the "lower end" road bikes started at 300 there, I actually saw a huffy with a 250 price tag... I did find a frameset in very bad cosmetic shape, not even sure what it actually was but I was quoted 200 bucks cause it's ultra rare apparently.. so rare it was on the bottom of a rusty frame pile and beaten to hell. I think I'm going to start repairing dump bikes and just giving them to homeless people.
