I am aware this isn't the prettiest bicycle but I got it to run very smoothly and plan to sell it after some miner tweaks. I have about $90 in it and i want some feedback on a $125 price point.
Full shimano 600 groupset
new tires, tubes, cables and housing
Repacked all bearings (bottom bracket and both wheels, even replacing the races in the rear wheel and bearings)

There is a version of me back in college, searching for something affordable for adventures far off campus. A vintage road bike in good condition, looks to have at least new tires and bar tape, the listing is on the buyer-grateful side of things.
Yeah, maybe. Decent Ishiwata frame, and a full Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset (Ultegra before it was called Ultegra.) The used bike market is kind of in the toilet right now, but it’s a decent old bike and $125 is feasible. Ross didn’t have a great reputation though, so you’ll be fighting a bit against that
wait wait wait
did you install a NEW dork disc
$125 seems like a good, fair asking price.
Low enough to not seem like you’re fleecing anyone, and high enough that folks who are actual willing to pay will appreciate the bike and use it well.
