I wish it was cheaper but around here anything under $120 is gone ASAFP!


I think it has good bones... if not a terrible color scheme.
I've got a '87 560 Pro, same color (minus the violet head tube - wtf!). I really love that Trek and it fits me like was custom made. Yes it has good bones - very good.

I know people get these amazing deals on bikes but how much cheaper than $50 could anyone expect. You can't buy a saddle for that. Or decent tires, or ... $50 is a steal! Anything that's steel goes on craigslist as a potential "fixie" and somehow that's supposed to justify a price range $200-300.
