Cool. I thiink next week I will maybe go to some pawn shops/older bike repair shops in the older downtown area of my town to price an older bike and maybe I'll get lucky and find a good quality brand bike to start on as my first bicycle project.
I did a couple of searches on CL and found some great bicycles but a lot were out of my price range and I don't want to have to have someone to send me a bike from another state, especially off of CL. If I was going to get a cheaper bike off of the internet I would have to go through eBay.
