nice, heck the parts and the frame are worth what you paid. Is this a bike you plan to ride or to sell? If it's your size and you plan to ride it, I'd think about getting it powder coated. I know that's heresy in the C&V forum but who cares? It's your bike and you want to look good when you ride it. I have an older Trek 720 that I'm thinking of getting powder coated locally cuz the paint job is in such bad shape (apparently one of the local auto places has a fair amount of experience with bikes as it does work for ichi bikes). You want to get on top of that rust fast. That has to be a 24 inch frame right? You did good on this (esp. talking some sense into the seller who was clearly trying to play the field); have fun with the bike.
