I bought a Trek 950 for $35 on Craigslist about 3 years ago; lugged True Temper frame. Most of the parts were of no use to me but I built it into a 1x8 drop bar commuter. The frame had some rust spots so I just sanded them and shot 'em with some flat black paint I had. I don't mind that the bike kind of looks like a train wreck but, except for the weight, it rides as nice as my road bikes.
