Ha, that's always ignoring the amount of money I poured into the rest of the bike after that but a cheap start makes for the best bikes right?
Yeah. A lot like the mid-'90s lightweight Trek 970 MTB that I picked up for US $100 ... then "poured" money over it for refurbishing into a decent city bike. Basically, frame + new everything. Works really well, but it sure didn't cost just $100. Like you, I'm still smilin'. And I don't need a step ladder to get up onto mine, little 16" thing that it is. That's something, I guess.
