+1 $400.

Since you mention it needing tires and cleaning, I would add bearing replacement, cables and housings replacement, etc. A basic cleanup/tuneup. You have to assume that the person that lets the tires go, let other regular maintenance go. You can do that work yoursef, or pay your favorite shop $150 or more to do it for you.

I had my eye on this one 'cos it was at $300 in the last hour. It shot up to $810 at the last moment.

I saw that....I cant imagine what one of the more modern ones with a trible butted frame, bar end shifter and other features goes for.
