Cannondale Black Lightning

What do we think the value of this Cannondale Black Lightning is? The Connecticut listing has only the one below picture. The seller reduced the price from $750 to $100 in a week. The only details listed are that it’s a 90s era bike with “Sugino AP13 gears”. I can’t make out from the pic the model derailers and shifters.
Is it flip worthy? 2 hour drive it would be.
Thanks!

$100 is a screaming deal

odd that they dropped the price that far, I'd suspect cleaned up these are more like $350-400 ish as the Black Lightning model is usually priced at a bit of a premium

At $100 I’d be in the car if it was under 2 hour drive, for that price even if it didn’t fit I could put the Suntour on my Batavus

That's a very good price cleaned up nice if you don't keep it I would say $300-400 value. This one looks to have all the original matching black components in fairly good shape which is a big plus.

If you are not driving there now, you are probably too late.

Lol 😂 I drove two hours today to get the Schwinn Circuit. My wife thinks I ran some local errands. A 4 hour (round trip) disappearing act will require a feat of magic. Hahah I’m gonna contact the seller now!

If you get it tell her it's "her" early Christmas present and that she doesn't need to buy you anything this year!
Report back when you are off of the couch.

Ugh!!! I saw it as I was driving to Philly. In the opposite direction. Then had company over and now found it’s “pending” on FB. So frustrating. I offered $120 anyway - let’s see if he bites.
