Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Well, it took long enough! I kept finding nice bikes to work on, but not in my size. And this one happens to be a 24'' frame (I also take a 25'' depending on make/model for my 6' frame) so this will be a keeper.
I purchased it from the original owner who took very good care of it, keeping it in a nice warm garage. Just before he stopped riding a couple of years or so ago, he had his bike shop go through it with a tuning. Everything spins as new and all was greased, and the additional items on the bike were icing on the cake he left attached.
Nope, not going to use the Aero bars or the computer, but it's nice to have them if I want to. A Specialized saddle bag, pump and water bottle holder rounded out the rest of the items. All in nice working condition.
I've already begun the cleaning/detailing on it, and I must say he wasn't kidding when he said he took care of it. Barely a scratch, just some white paint on the top tube that's been coming off with Polishing Compound.
First time I didn't even attempt to talk the seller down. Very nice, honest gentleman. And the bike was a mere 5 miles from my house. Best $75 I've spent in a while on a bike I can ride!!!
