I'll have $68 left in the budget to get her up to speed. Once again, I keep finding bikes probably too small for me, but hoping that they will work

I'm gonna really hear it from everyone in the 'collection reduction' thread over this one, but come on. Just look at it. This one needed saving. You know it. I know it. It found me

AAAANND...stuck seatpost, probably stem too. Whoohoo!

The vine and rust were already part of the bike as of December 31, 2023. Neither should be included in any price calculation.

However, the amount of evaporust, kroil, WD-40 and reciprocating saw blade do.

I do like the yellow tires. And honestly, if you de rust the parts, there are some exceptional pieces in there.
