PS.

You might be able to squeeze another ten or more years out of her...Who knows?
So I acted a little quickly, I checked out the bike and it seemed in pristine condition, little to no rust on any of the parts, the wheels did not wabble. I took it for a spin, and although the seat was too high, it felt like a good fit (especially when I lower that seat down). I didn't manage to get him to budge on the price at all, and I didn't want to lose out on the bike. My reasoning was that for $40 more (the shipping cost) I could get a very low end single speed bike. Or I could get a bike that has been well maintained and has lasted a long time... that being said, I paid $300... thinking it may have been worth more.

When I was there, I couldn't find the serial Number, but I did when I got home, upon looking it up, it's a 1988 St400 (the bikes a year younger than I am) upon doing more research, I have found that it can be had for $75-$250. So i'm a little bummed about that, but I can tell this bike is going to last me a while.

Oh, and I need to replace the pedals because they are the clip in kind.
