Motobecane...good deal?
Is this a good deal...looks like its close to a 63cm which is what I need. Is this a touring bike by chance? I have a call in but not a response yet. Motobecane

In the Atlanta market, for a rider...and it fits well...this would be an ok price...if you can clean it, grease it and get it fully up to running on your own. Or, if it is perfectly ready to ride now (cleaned, greased, etc)
If it is a flip...borderline at best...

Still learning
Lack of fender eyelets and vertically oriented fork point to sport riding, not touring. 2040 steel is meh, not even chromoly.

The price is fair if everything works good and there are no issues. If you decide your interested be sure and check the seat post and frame closely these none standard setups often have issues. As others have said it is a basic sports model and not a touring bike.

Is it a Mirage Sport? Great riding bikes. Not a touring bike at all. At $150 its a darn good deal.
