With the weather in Houston, I sure hope you got a great deal to ride it home last night.

LOL, I made a deal with the seller that if he would bring the bike to my house (30 miles), i would give him the asking price. So he did.

good eyes, scotty! the bike was rather inexpensive compared to blue book value. but of course it came with a lot of problems - one of that was the rear tire = bold & flat.

it needs
- a new rear tire
- a new rear wheel (came with a small bent on the rear rim)
- new sprocket/chain set
- new front/rear brake pads

and list goes on. once i'm done with all that, i still will come ahead.
