    Is this priced a bit high?

    I am going to look at a mixte this afternoon:
    http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/1349376140.html

    It is priced at $150, is that a reasonable price for a '70s bike?

    This would be my first mixte that I would set up for local shopping and stuff.

    Thanks all

    If you believe Freakonomics, it is: http://bikeportland.org/2009/08/18/i...n-in-portland/

    But seriously, that sounds like a pretty fair deal if it is in reasonable (safely rideable) shape. Good luck!

    I think it's a tad high.
    It depends on your local market.

    Cool Decided to pass on this

    It rode okay, needs some brake work, but it did not feel comfortable enough overall to drop $150. Plus I would still have to add fenders, rack, etc.


    Will just do some add-ons to the mtb for now, which I know rides great.
