Cruisin' on my Bluebird
OK, after that other Shogun debacle of a bike I picked up for $50 and should have left where it was...I was redeemed!!!
Attached please see my Shogun Selectra...in my size...and in terrific condition. And ironically, the seat is even in my position. Weird, right?
Yes, there are chips of paint, but overall it's ridiculously clean. Even the chain looks barely used, and the only thing missing is the cable for the front derailleur (which was attached but broken). The tires appear to be original as they say Made in Japan (but the logo looks like a Raleigh Rampar "R"). And as far as I can see, everything else is as it left the factory. Even the wheels spin true!
I saw this bike listed weeks ago, but at $250. No way. I contacted the seller and he was adamant on the price, so I thanked him anyway for his time. A week later, he offered it to me for $200, and I still politely said no. To much. Again, a week after that, he contacts me with a $150 offer, which I still declined. I told him the most I could spend was $100 on the bike, and again thanked him for him generous offer.
So...yesterday morning I received a text saying if I was still interested, he would accept the $100. It was a family members bike he had gotten and had no use for it (to tall!). Could I come by that night to get it.
And the rest is history!!!
