Nice Bike

Ran across this beauty: I'd be sure to check for pitting under the bottom bracket, but sounds like this guy kept good care of this one

Pretty sure that the shifters and brakes alone are worth the 450, and the components are pretty decent!! I would buy this if i were shorter!

this might be handy if you don't know what size bicycle will fit you:

I probably could fix that for you, as I am a bicycle mechanic. Guess it all depends on what components can be rebuilt and what needs replacing, def a winter thing.

Ah neato!

I feel like it's honestly just not that nice of a bike. Guy who sold it to me knew nothing about it (or bikes in general) and I've had no luck finding an actual model or any info about it.

It's in ok shape, in terms of rust and damage - I often wonder if it's worth dumping some cash into or if I should be trying to get a couple hundred for it on kijiji and step up to a nicer blank slate (like the bike above).


Would love an opinion ;)

great bike, just needs a tuneup and a better seat and maybe shifters eventually.

Crap, looks like I missed this one, http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell ... Z405998927" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
probably a steal at that price, or cracks in the frame.
