Bikes: Not as many as there were awhile ago.

Once again not C & V but I had to share, 2006 TREK FX 7.5. Deore LX 3 X 9 drivetrain. This one fell in my lap, a truck pulled up and a guy got out and introduced himself, turns out I knew him years ago and went to school with his sister. He asked me to ID a bike that had been hanging in various family members garages over the years and had last landed in his, he was moving and wanted it gone. I told him what it was, he asked me if it was worth fixing up and would I be interested in it. I made him a LOW offer and he smiled and said it was mine, he was just happy to have it gone. It needs pedals, the shifters flushed out and lubed and a good cleaning but under the years of dust it looks to be in good shape. Tires are good, I aired them up and they still have mold flash down the center and no cracks. I took it for a test ride and except for the gummed up shifters it rode great. Just a hair on the small side for me though, a friend of mine has been looking for something along this line so if it fits him and he's interested I'll pass on my good fortune.



EDIT: Shifter flush was a success and it cleaned up pretty nicely. Just waiting for my friend to pick it up.
