The frame is in great shape; anyone out there have any experience with these not-yet-in-the-catalog 600s from 1980 with the N serial numbers and pretty bare frames?
For some reason, the thrift stores around me like to attach $$$$ price tags on bikes. After I picked up a lovely Trek 600 from the original family, I thought I'd stop by the local thrift store just to see if I could double my wins...well, they had 3-4 bikes, nothing special, and they were like $190!!
