Early 90's Raleigh Mountain bike with nice Deore group set?
I took a quick look at a Raleigh Mountain bike at a local thrift shop. I should have taken pictures but it has a Tang frame, tig welded with a straight fork and a wishbone stay.I thought the sticker on the bottom said "Tang Fleet" but it looks like it might realy be a Tange Heat. It has a very clean Deore groupset including hubs. I can't remember if it was DX or LX. The bike is in pretty good shape with a couple rust spots on the frame. Their asking $65, which I think is the standard bike price there. After 3 months of rolling a bike in and out every day they reduce to $45. I don't need another oversized mountain bike, but the group set is nicer than what's on most of my bikes. So my question is: Is a clean Deore groupset with usable wheels worth $65? Or is this bike actually worth flipping/catch and releasing? I can go get pictures tomorrow if anyone is interested. Thanks Woody
