I haven't found a bicycle deal at a thrift store in years. Today was half price day, so I wentt to support my wife's consignment clothing business (we pretty much always can find sellable clothing). Of course, just in case, I headed over to the bike area to check it out. WTF? Four decent bikes, at really low prices. Quick call to the wife, as I could not grab four at once, and then directly to the checkout. Two Trek mtbs, one a 930, and a couple of basic road bikes (Fuji Gran Tourer and Schwinn Sprint). Sure, I have sworn off mtbs, but the 930 had nice STX components, newish road tires, good pedals, etc. The 820 was a cool metallic green, good pedals, shifters, decent tires. The road bikes were rough, but the paint was good on both of them, the Fuji had a nice crankset and a Suntour Vx long cage RD, etc.
