Hey gang (future gang). So I purchased my freedom from a guy down in Sheepshead Bay for $125 Bucks on a mild September night and I haven't looked back. That night was certainly a learning experience. After not having any real riding experience since 2001 I rode about 8 miles up Bedford Avenue to Greenpoint. Needless to say I busted my cherry. Since then I have done some basic up-keep, fixed a flat, put on a new rear wheel and upgraded to Tektro brakes. She now rides smooth and easy.
I have done a little bit of research to try and date the frame and I think it is probably a mid 70's steel frame. It's a 12 speed touring bike with shimano derailleurs. It's a great ride and I think I got a awesome deal. So to you random craigslist poster I say THANK YOU! When I picked it up the dude told me that he rode this bike to and from Florida. I hope I can log a similar trip with her some day. I would say I put an average of 56 miles a week on the gal and she treats me right. Alight so check out these picks . I hate to see her chained up but hey, I want to keep her around...
Cheers!
