I had a late 80s 10 speed Murray Sebring when I was a teenager. It definitely served a purpose for me. If it had been an expensive bike there was no way I would have had one. I rode it quite happily and I’m sure it was a heavy low quality bike but at 13 I didn’t notice. If my parents could have somehow afforded for me a Colnago I wouldn’t have treated it any better than I did that Murray. It was the right bike for the time.
