Incidentally I hate friction shifters in general, never could seem to get the hang of them but I guess I should at some point anyway.
Also what are "aero brakes?" If you couldn't tell I'm a bike noob.
Looks to be in good shape, but they are old; make sure the wheel bearings and such don't need to be rebuilt.
How might I check that out?
I'd charge him 20 bucks to haul it off.
That bad huh?
