It really is a good rider, I'm a very much novice to bicycles the last few years, haven't been on one since I was a kid, and have a strict budget I adhere to (by force of will alone), but I'm enjoying it after my life long car hobby.
I think I have $50 in this one. It'll get new wheels and better brake pads. Not sure if I should re-use the not well thought of 333 hub or spring for a used SA off ebay. The latter is probobly the smarter thing.

I'd really like to find a "nice" bike cheap with the same ergonomics, they suit my back and wrists. I turned down a similar condition and era J.C. Higgins the other week, the guy wanted $75 for it and it had been sitting and coroading
for at least twenty years, needing a total resto. Kinda regretting it.
