I got a great deal on this bike via craigslist. It's way too small for me, but I could use the wheels and figured I'd keep the rest around for my man-wife. The frame has a few nicks and rust spots to tend to, but the components are in excellent shape.
Update: I'm thinking about selling this to fund another bike that will actually fit me. If you're interested, shoot me an offer.
The frame has a little bit of rust in the areas where the paint has been chipped. Most of the components are in *excellent* shape, and will likely be near immaculate once I polish them up.
Everything on this bike is original except for the tires (which are about to be replaced) and the brake hoods, which were in really poor shape. The pedals, hubs, and botton bracket were in perfect shape, and have been cleaned and re-packed. This bike probably saw no more than 700 miles of use, with most of the scratches being from careless storage by previous owners.
