I had an M900 that I sold on Craigslist this past year. Way nicer than this one. Full XT groupset, and high end bits all around. It took me like 2 months to sell it for $300.

It's probably not a DeRosa either. My DeBernardi had lugs like that, the seller on Portland Craigslist swore up and down it was a DeRosa. I knew he was wrong, so I got it for $100.

I'm guessing if you have a garage, you'd also have a driveway, except maybe in like San Francisco. In which case just wash it on the sidewalk. Those sidewalks could use a good washing.

I saw this movie in 86 when I was like 12. I was really into BMX and lived in the midwest, but I was set on becoming a bike messenger someday. I moved to Seattle in 1994 and messengered until 2007.
