First stop was the Cannondale which was in much better shape than I expected but unfortunately it turned out to be too small for my brother-in-law. Fortunately for me it fit me perfectly and for $100 I couldn’t pass on it. It turned out to be an 83 model ST500.
The Univega turned out to be nice as well. It was equipped with 7 speed Suntour drivetrain featuring command shifters as well as a fresh set of Pasela PT tires.
A decent day of bike hunting was followed up with a 30 mile test ride on our new machines. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday if you ask me.
Congratulations, nice choices.
