Picked up the bike for 240 including 40 for gas and 20 for waffle house! Looks to be in pretty good condition and just needs bar tape. Only question now is whether I want to try to swap the v brakes for cheap tektro cantis because I hate V brakes. Then to add fenders and maybe a rack... Of course I had to be an idiot and sell all my panniers last year soooo guess I'll be needing those again.
