Has anyone noticed how many older, high-end 26" mtn. bikes are 'dirt' cheap these days? $1000 bikes in their day but now $100-$200. XT equipped, hard tails w/ Rox susp. to F/S with V-brakes.
I don't know what this junker cost when new but on the cheapo end, I just picked up this 1993 Schwinn (full rigid) for $7 at a Goodwill. Not that I have to, but I'll put $30 into it for slicks, tubes, chain, used road drop bars and dual platform SPD's. It'll be for towing a kids trailer, loaner, city beater.
