stormdogI'm selling a bike! If you know anyone who might be interested, please feel free to pass the info along. (I'm also selling a hydraulic trainer for $80.)
It's a vintage 1980s Japanese road bike. Make and model are Takara Advantage. It's got a lugged 4130 cro-moly steel frame. It has 27" steel wheels. They will take 700c tubes but not tires; you could also replace them with modern 700c wheels. It's a 12-speed geartrain with stem-mounted friction shifters. I adjusted and lubed them, but they might need new cables sooner or later. It probably needs new brake pads too; the ones on it work but aren't very grippy.
It's a really pretty bike. All red and white, with white-wrapped drop bars. It's the prettiest, sportiest bike I've ever owned, and I kind wish I had room to keep it. Let me know if you're interested! I'll get some pictures soon, hopefully this week. I'm going to put it on craigslist soon too. I'm looking for $100 for it.
Thanks!
