Can't "encourage", or Discourage", you at this point. don't know the "asking price", extent of broken plastic, or stator condition. i CAN see that the seat is in pretty poor shape. if it FEELS right, then go for it. just jt:backinmyday: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano Posted November 3, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 3, 2008 I picked mine up for 600, if it runs with nothing dripping from it and rides decent (other than probably needing progressives, seals, etc.) I would definately pick it up!! Of course, you'll need a dark pair of sunglasses before you get on her on a bright day! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted November 3, 2008 Share #13 Posted November 3, 2008 For that price you should get it. Now as for the color WOW that's red.

Condor Posted November 3, 2008 Share #16 Posted November 3, 2008 Nice paint, double ugly seat, nice accessories. Just make damn well sure second gear is still good, or it's been fixed. Good luck. BTW you can buy just the foam for those grips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the bike was yellow.I think it would look good with some red pinstripes on it. Good luck with your new purchase!
