That is a department store bike from about 20-25+ years ago, a well preserved one at that.
You have it very close,it's not a department sore bike in today's sense of the word,compared to some of the miserable offerings at wally world,more of a sporting good store one. If it's very pristine,no reason todoubt that,an LBS where I used to live has a few very similar bikes,as old and priced well.I can't reckon why he never sold them.The bike's serviceable,mostly,if not all Hi-tens. steel,that's ok. ONE problem,it's NOT a 57cm.Looks like a 19",the bike isn't measured in metric.It equals a 49cm. 27' wheel bikes weren't measured in cm.Is it worth it? Depends on wanting to risk a really USED bike and/or what you can SEE and really KNOW to find locally.The price is border-line fair.
