I told my friend to get one of these as he's been wanting a road bike for a while (had a miyata with a trashed derailleur that we ghetto converted to single speed. it was stolen though). I saw on the local craigslist that cr-mo road frames from the 80's converted to fixed or singlespeed were 250... this was an extra 16 after tax and shipping (i got 266 total since I don't have any points or anything). only downside is it just shipped today, bound for the sacramento store. It apparently won't get there until the 23rd though. not my bike though so no big.
only strange thing about this bike is the sizing. a medium has a 58cm seat tube?
