dont think i can get it for more less than 75/80.

these sell really fast and hes holding it for me until saturday...college books and this will make me very broke until the next paycheck..

and no, i will not make it a fixie. i dont like that concept at all.

so is this a decent price?

i really hope its in good shape.

i asked him is the wheels are trued and he said it has a flat tire.

i asked him if the spokes wiggle when pinched and he said that the back tire is flat and the front could use more air.

i hope he measured it correctly too.

if i go down there, im buying it no matter what. and if it is the wrong frame size...

then i will post in craigslist as a "sick fixie" and try to sell it for 175 and let someone in skinny jeans haggle me down to 150.

youngsters these days...wait, im only 20

Even if the wheels are flat, even if the wheels aren't trued, even if the spokes wiggle when pinched its a good deal.

Most Craig List sellers will not hold a bike. I don't. Too many no shows.

Any decent name brand bike under $100 is a good deal. Don't expect it to be perfect.
