Great find! I thought my eBay saddle for around $30US (IIRC) was a good deal. I gotta start checking flea markets & such.

i am always finding stuff like that the frame in that picture i bought for 8 bucks from a bike co-op and the bars and stem i bought from a bum on the side of the road for 10, both brand new eastons i mean sure they're ea30s but 10bucks is 10 bucks.

Until today, I only rode road bikes and commuted to work. But I needed to keep up with my friends who had transitioned to MTB. So I bought this bike on ebay and baptized it today on my first ever MTB ride. This is a crazy sport, so many challenges and skills to learn, so much fun to bomb down the single track!
