My wife says I never spent ten minutes with a bike that I didn't buy but today I proved her wrong. On our weekly trip though goodwill I came across a mountain bike that was almost brand new. I mean no rust anywhere. I think someone bought it then had a heart attack the next day. This thing could have come off the showroom floor at wallymart.
I had to check out the gears and the the brakes. Yeah I know it's like kicking the tires on a used car. Just something you KNOW looks silly, but you just can't resist. I walked away not because the bike was over priced. It was a little, but I just don't have any use for another bike even though gears on the bubba bike would be kinda cool.
The bike was 15 speed according to the stencil. Anyway it was 45 bucks. I figure that is pretty close to what the original owner paid for a Mt. Fury at wally mart back in the day of 15 speeds. It was in beautiful shape though.
