Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Probably not. What are you goals for the bike (racing, community, MUP use)? Does it FIT? That is, by a mile, the most important question. I assume you are trawling c-list for deals -- what's your budget? That sounds like a pretty old bicycle.

Thank you for the response. I would be using it to commute to work within San Francisco for the most part with limited recreational use on the weekends. My budget is about $250 but $200 sounds a lot better and you are correct that I was indeed trawling c-list. I'm going to see it this evening so I will check the fit.

Thanks Again.

Dude.

Go to C&V: that is the Collectible and Vintage.

Good Luck.

I am so very sorry that I let my old Simplex rear derailleur go...
