Late 80's vintage lugged steel road bike, 59cm (large) frame size, good for a rider about 6' to 6'3". This bike has super smooth functionality, with a Shimano 105 groupset, and a standout aesthetic with lugged steel tubing and a playful yellow and magenta/purple paint job that's in really good shape. This bike hasnt' seen many miles, and has been kept in good condition by the original owner before coming to us. Would be a great, affordable road bike for someone new to the sport or enthusiastic about vintage craftsmanship and style.
We haven't done much work on this bike yet, so it's not as polished as we'll make it for the final buyer. The price is for the bike, polished up with extra attention to detail.

Pedals
We take pedals off our bikes for storage, and for road bikes we guess that most riders will want to put their own pedals on the bike, since most road riders use clip-in shoes. We'll put flats on for local test rides, and are happy to chat with you about what used pedals we have available that we could include with this bikes if you don't have your own preferred pedals.
