  • Too low bike content?

    From Mark J cleary@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 9 15:43:12 2025
    I have eyed a Lemond on FB at $350 see link. I don't need it but the
    size is right and I can get to it reasonably quick down the road about 1
    hour. I don't care about the components but the frame and fork. I would
    buy a new Shimano Crank and then some shifter and RD and RD. I have the
    rest of the stuff. I don't own a steel bike but it might actually be
    better for riding inside than my Wilier and actually better or at least
    safer than the Wilier if I go outside. Worst case scenario is I just
    sell it if things go add up.

    Do I dare make and offer of $250 and tell me if my thinking about the
    bike is ok and what about the offer?

    I would strip the aero handlebars off and otherwiseit is identical to a LeMond I had. I had nothing at all negative to say about it.

    Actually it looks like a pretty good deal at the $350 he wants.
