$100 niner probably stolen or not very nice
My niner is not stolen or even vintage. It's all-new for about $800.00. Frameset: $250, Crankset: $70, Wheelset: $120...
....The brifters were about $110... The spirit is the same: Fully rigid and larger tires. By the time you bring a vintage bike road-worthy for a longer tour, the cost rises to this level IMO.
