I saw a Vintage bike thats not so far away and i can pick It up for no cost and no waste of time. From the description -rides allright. Seems like the frame is fine, but the rest of gear is not genuine/missing. And that’s ok, i was looking for a cheap vintage bike to learn maintenance and have some city rides. Would you consider? Price could get power than 90,im thinking 70.

Is it your size? That frame is for someone over 6 ft at least.
If the wheels are true and 700c the one good thing about it is there’s room for some bigger tires. like 700×40. For $70 it would be ok, but holy crap ditch that stem.

Any functioning non-walmart bike is worth at least ~$100.
It’s a mid to late 80s frame, and was entry level at the time. All the parts are standard size and threading, so it’s a great one to wrench on. The rainbow colorway is popular right now, so I’m sure they’ll sell it soon. Replacement parts are a good thing: Nothing on it was particularly desoreable, and it isn’t a “collectible” vintage ride, so no point in keeping it original. Those gold brakes look interesting, though!
I see lots of these set up like this with flat bars, maybe a 1x or single speed drivetrain. They make wonderful, zippy around-town bikes.
