How does this Specialized look?
 

I'm sorry to make another thread, but you all have been so helpful with my first post that I thought it would be worth asking one more question. I found a new listing today for a Specialized. The price is a little more appealing on this one, and I'm checking it out tomorrow.

Here's the Craigslist posting which contains a photo of the bike and some information.

The owner said the back tire was bent and that it would need to be replaced at some point, but it is able to be ridden as-is after he trued it some.

What do you guys think? Thanks again for all your help with the Bianchi, it's much appreciated!

I'd buy it for $125 and figure it out later. That's a good price.

I'm in Chattanooga. If you'd like some local help, get in touch. If you're unable to PM, give me an email address and I'll contact you.

Make sure the frame and fork are in undamaged condition.

Best,

Julian

That bike is a Specialized Sirrus built on Bizarro-Earth where everything is mirror image from our planet. Buy it immediately for the cool factor, but be prepared to find that replacement parts are impossible to find (all the threads are left-handed except the drive-side bottom bracket).:lol:

Really, it sure looks like a fine bike to me. The local co-op will probably have a cheap replacement wheel if the rear wheel is too bent.

Tough to say from crappy photo

I'd take Julian up on his offer, he'll teach you more than you need to know.
