[HR][/HR]vintage daimondback ascent mountain bike with rear storage rack..good condition.. just needs a little tls and a rear brake cable...good rubber...comfy spring seat... i have seen these go easily up to 600..in this condition its worth over 300/350 im told by many....should go quick at 175...this is an 18 speed with 3 front and 5 rear sprockets....


What exactly is "tls"? A bonus in the ad are the outlandish value claims. And, you have to shudder at the staggering lack of basic math skills (or the ability to use a calculator) to arrive at 3 x5 =18.

TLS is probably TLC (tender loving care).. at $75 the guy isn't asking an outrageous amount though looking at the condition i wouldn't want to pay more than $50
