I’m working with someone who wants to start riding to work.
Anyone have a bike under $300 they want to part with.
He’s about 5’10
What do you got?
P.S. Aaron, be nice to the ladies I send your way or I’ll kick you in the nuts!

my riding partner has a Trek 750 Multi-Track that has been professionally maintained by Aaron. It came into this world with flat handlebars, thumbshifters and knobby cycle-cross tires. It has been converted to drop style handebars with Suntour command shifters. It is a 7-speed triple, tt lugged steel frame, 700c wheels, canti-brakes, w/planet bike full fenders, rear-rack and blinky light. Ready to roll, commute or tour. This bike is a veteran of several MS150's and a Sea>SJ Isles>Mt.Constitution>Vic>PA>PT>Sea tour. It has been ridden only a few times since 2000.
It should fit him fine. It is a 23"/58cm square frame. I'll be home in W.Seattle tomorrow morning to noon and would be happy to show it to your friend and have him ride it. It's simple and easy to take care of and it hasn't been brutalized by year round commuting, but would make a fine commuter (my 21" ditto did), so it is as fine a bike as you will ever find.
motivated to get it out of the basement.

Since you have yet to reply to my offer and arrange to see and ride this bike I hope you understood my offer and that we are prepared to sell this bike for a negotiated fair price less than the maximum amount of $300 your friend is willing to pay for a bike.
A new bike (Trek 520) like this would cost ~$1100. The mechanical aspects of this bike i.e. wheel bearings, bb, headset are in new bike condition. The derailleurs shift crisp and accurate. This bike is not a mechanical nightmare waiting to happen. You will be hard pressed to find a bike of this quality and mechanical soundness.
Anyone interested in this bike should call fon# two-0-six-9three7-eighty2ten
Hope to hear from you!

Some of us have lives and avoid the internet at times...
I sent on the spec's. I'll let you know when i hear from him.
Aaron, the lady with the dutch bike was someone I sent your way. She knows she didn't buy some fancy bike, but she's only riding to the store, maybe down to Akli from time to time.

Thanks for forwarding the specs to your friend.
I am sorry if I sounded impatient. I just thought that if you did not understand our offer that you may have been offended, either way I managed to do that. Again I'm sorry.

why change it and get all dirty when you could just add some air every 8 hours?
