He got his around 2 years ago and paid $350. Bike had been used heavily but is still solid with no damage aside from quite a bit of paint scratches. Most components had already been upgraded or replaced.

Both bikes have the original steel forks with all the attachment points for fenders and racks. Both of us enjoy the ride quality and handling.

Here is my bike setup exactly how I'm using now as an around town ride and commuter with 700x35 tires.



Here is my friend's bike how he is using it as a gravel and all around bike. The front tire is different and small because he shredded the rear so he swapped the front to the rear and got a used spare my brother had hanging around the shop to put up front.
