EXAGE 400 LX-never heard of these

It's a hybrid from the 90s and would make a nice conversion into a cyclocross bike because those 90's hybrids in a lot of ways were cyclocross bikes: 700c wheels with nice clearance, relaxed angles, cantilever brakes. Exage 400lx would be roughly equivalent to... Alivio, I'd say. Maybe Deore. They're a bit too old to draw an equivelency, but generally were decent components. If they are in good shape they'll work and function fine (I've got a mtb with exage 500lx), they just aren't exactly zoot stuff.

Oh yeah- $150... I dunno. If it was in really good shape and you could use all the components then maybe, but I've seen criss crosses- schwinn's top of the line hybrid bike- sell for less.

Sounds ok to me. I had a bike with Sport LX/Exage and it was fine.

This is a really good site for old mtb stuff. You can learn about how cool Suntour kit used to be...

ok so i'm confused, is it a hybrid in the sense that its a road bike with flat bars, or is it one of those relaxed cruisers with half knobbys half slick because that would be perfect if it had flat bars and road tires because that's exactly what i want
so 150 bucks is a bit much? at any rate i'll call the guy tomorrow and set up a time to check it out
