Bikes: 2008 Novara Randonee - love it. Previous bikes:Motobecane Mirage, 1972 Moto Grand Jubilee (my fave), Jackson Rake 16, 1983 C'dale ST500.

My recommendation for Craigslist bikes is to bring along a knowledgable friend or go to a shop with the seller to get an estimate. **You should either use the shop for at some of the work or offer to pay something for the estimate. It is rare for a bike that has any steel components to be worth $100 unless it is a true collectible/vintage.
