My $20 Raleigh Marathon
My manager was cleaning out her garage, I mentioned thinking about getting a road bike since I've been enjoying road riding my hardtail MTB on slicks. She said her husband's old Raleigh could use a new home. She sent me a couple pics, I asked how much. $20 - Didn't have to think too hard about it. A quick search of this forum confirmed that this bike was worth snagging (good info here).
Little bit of surface rust, but overall almost like new. She stated it had only been used a few times - sure appears that way. Just needs new rubber and a better seat and I'll be out enjoying the road more. I have a feeling this little bike might make me into more of a roadie than I ever dreamed of
