My UO-8 fits this description well.
It's one size too small for me so it would be trading material or a parts bike, I already have a beater bike.

It looks like it was in pretty nice shape and several steps above a BSO, just needed the front fender turned around.
That's pretty much what I'm expecting to find tomorrow but probably not that clean and if it is I'll be leaving without it. I just about have my previous low end acquisitions cleared out and have made a St. Patrick's Day resolution to not drag any more home. No more Hi Ten frames or stamped drop outs are following me home unless they are in mint condition and free or I'm getting paid to haul them off.
