haha well I thought it was an awesome deal; I got the complete bike for $650. All I did was change out the stem and add a brake. It was an upgrade for me from my old bridgestone beater that weighs like 30lbs. I'd been dreaming of something exactly like it for months, and then it appeared on CL when I had extra money so it seemed like fate to me. Plus I was about ready to drop $800 on an All City Big Block complete, so it seemed like a really good deal.

I'm keeping the risers for now the chain, saddle needs to go. I don't use the "drops".
Might switch to bull horns. Work in progress.

That "generator light" is a brake lever operated bell.
