I have a feeling you'll get better answers about the frame if you post in the 'Classic & Vintage' forum. Those guys know their stuff.

The lugs are nice. It seems like a pretty good deal to me. You probably can't get a much better deal for that price range. Does it fit you? For that price new you could only get a wallyworld Thruster.

the wheelset alone is worth that much ;)

That's pretty much why I'm interested in it. All the components/parts are in near new condition as well. Wheelers is in 10/10 condition :)

It's. 50cm and I'm 5'6". Fits me like a glove.

The rear wheel is not slammed into the downtube: you might loose some of that elusive street cred. You might recover some of it back by having money to buy PBRs however

kristonenicolas 08-31-11 03:17 PM

I'm sorry. What are PBR's?

Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. ;)

walnutz 08-31-11 03:44 PM

sweet looking bike, if it fits, get it. You can't beat that price.

kristonenicolas 08-31-11 03:54 PM

Any idea on what the frame might be?

College-like budget beer. Gets a lot of association with hipsters, but, dammit, being a broke student doesn't allow for much else. Ya know?

Sounds like a great deal. You'd be hard-pressed to find a new SS bike at that price that isn't utter crap, and this bike looks fine.

No prob. Most people who drink Natty aren't even old enough to buy it. :innocent:
