Velognome, remember, I'm famous around my town. Someone just GAVE me that Matsuri, because she wanted it out of her house.
A friend of mine who is also here on BF pointed this out to me. The asking price was $175. Since the guy didn't hesitate to accept $140, I might have been able to pay even less. But I did fine, and so did he. If not in the hands of a good mechanic, it would be a bad bike, so he couldn't have (or shouldn't have) sold it for more.
