Damn, you ALWAYS find the deals....
Well, I had to make an 80-mile round trip to pick it up, so figure $15 worth of gas, plus three hours time. The one I missed this week that really irked me was a guy selling three bikes plus extra parts for $75; an old Hawthorne 10-speed, a Schwinn LeTour III, and a Schwinn Super Tourer. If there is a God, he obviously doesn't want me to have a Super Tourer -- I always miss the boat on those.

The forks, rear stays, and cantilever brake arms have enough clearance and adjustment to accommodate larger wheels. And to my eye anyway, it looks sort of peculiar on the 26s -- kind of out-of-proportion.
