Great deals, for me, are few and far between. Eastern NC CL extends basically from VA to SC and that's a lot of driving, so I only check it 2x a week at most. Fellow BF member and hill-climbing goat
norskagent gave me a heads-up on a Terry-designed bike. The ad said "old, dirty, Suntour, and original price about $400."
I have a riding partner who teaches in that town, 8 miles from the VA border, and she picked it up for me. The bike will basically cost me a NOS, in the box, Bell Alchera helmet.
Tange 1 frame 48cm x 49cm, lugged fork. Suntour headset, SR Custom 65mm stem, Sakae 36cm bars.
Suntour Cyclone 7000 indexed group, to incl hubs, FD, RD, 165mm cranks, calipers, shifters, and pedals.
Rims are Araya red label, front is 24" or whatever that is metrically, and the rear is 700c.
Rings are Suntour 48/40 and Suntour freewheel is 13-28 six speed. Tires are Panaracer Technova.
I have a lot of work to do, some minor touchup, but it's unique bike and a nice find.
Thanks,
norskagent, for the heads-up. These are the "before" pictures, after one rinse-off . It really was filthy.
