So mulleady helped me find this sweet deal on this 2005 Downtube VIII FS.
It's only 65$ and the guy wasn't orignally willing to ship. I pm'd him and he said shipping is fine with him, and it'd probably cost 35-40$. So that'd be 100-105$ total for a used 2005 Downtube VIII FS.

Here's some info on stuff that needs fixing.

" Up for auction is my Downtube folding bike. It folds quickly, it's about 25 pounds and I have used it a lot during my last three years in philly. There's a couple things you need to know before bidding: 1) It has scratches associated with three years of use. 2) One of the links in the chain is missing a rivet (see picture 3) and makes the chain fall from time to time. 3) The chain is also missing the cover/protector, not sure what's it called (look for a new downtube image and you'll see what I mean. I still use the bike daily, but I would strongly recommend taking it to a bike shop for a tune-up and to fix what I mentioned above. I'm moving overseas and I'm not going to need it. "

Seems like everything mentioned is minor, and wouldn't cost but a few bucks. Should I finalize this deal? It seems like it'd ride alot better than a Boardwalk S1 and fit me alot better than a Kent (not to mention its cheaper than either), anyone have experience with this bike? Any recommended modifcations or anything of that sort?

I'm pretty excited.
