A Nishiki Ariel for $20.

This bike is located about a half an hour's drive away from me. I don't really have a use for it, but my brother needs a bike. I hear these bikes were outfitted with Deore, which isn't bad assuming the gears aren't shark-toothed.

So what do you think?

For $20 it is very difficult to make a mistake buying a bicycle!

agreed with above, plus 1.) I have a think for nishiki's 2.) one day those early wacked MTB frame designs will be valuable collectors items due to their uniqueness.
