Pepsi spirit 10 speed bike
$450
per ad:"Limited edition pepsi spirit 10 speed bike from 1980. Still works"Seller lists condition as "Fair" which is at least a reasonably honest compared to the valuation.
* This is the second bike I've seen in less than a month with masking tape for bar tape. A trend perhaps...???

Huddled for warmth
BSO's disappear from driveways and porches and seek the company of other BSO's to survive winter. This particular gathering is unusual in its size.
