Thanks he says it has under 150 miles and never dropped. Its been on for about 2 weeks hmm not too many big guys looking for vintage bikes.

By the way could a modern road bike toady (not walmart target crap) weigh 22ish pounds and have similar performance for around 300?
It depends if you want aluminum frame or not? It will also depend on what components and wheels it has? I was lucky to find a Schwinn Fastback Pro for $150 with full 9 speed Ultegra and Ritchey wheels. I was going to strip the parts but the bike rides so well I added it to my fleet. 20 lbs bike.

I also picked up a Scott Aluminum bike, 2006 or something, lowest model with Sora components. It was a heavy dog at 23 lbs. It did nothing well. Sold it off fast.
