Seat post is stuck so I have it soaking, BB so dry it was locked up so I poured some oil in and worked it loose. Rear hub was the same way. Tossed the locked-up plastic pedals. It's a 20" frame (full CroMo) but I already have the Marin that I found last year. Shame to get rid of it but I just don't need it and it needs too much for me to mess with it except out of boredom. Nice frameset if anyone wants it. Probably not worth shipping. Too bad I didn't grab it when I first saw it a year or so ago.
