My cheap toy.....
$250 for the bike before I threw the 3T bar on it. The saddle and Aerocoach are my old TT bike parts, so nothing bought there. Needs good rubber.

Nice looking bike, can't beat the price in today's environment.
Pros closet has new challenge Elites and Criteriums for 25ish dollars each, about the cheapest I've ever seen them and a real good tire in my opinion. If I hadn't already blown most of my spending cash I'd have gotten 8 instead of 4 and actually been set on tires for a year.

Rode it like 3 miles up the stupid hill from the house, up and down the flatter-ish street, then walked it down the stupid hill.
I'm going to buy a road fork and put a front brake on that for around town, but keep it fixed.
