I did fall into this one. I was originally looking at a different pair of Sports listed on Craigslist by the same seller. He was asking $135 for that pair, both of which had vinyl saddle and needed tires. After not selling for several weeks, he dropped the price to $100. Still no sale so I asked my son to stop at the seller's Flea Market store, which was closed to my son's house, and offer $75 for both. My son called me and told me that the seller had just received a second pair in much better shape. These are the bikes I bought. I maybe spent two to three hours cleaning and polishing the bikes, lubed what I could and they were both ready for the road. Oh, did I mention that they both had brand new tires?
