The kickstand is hanging loose and so is the saddle, and the tires are flatter than flat. The cobwebs and everything stuck in them tells me the bike has been sitting around for a while. It's not broken! It just needs some rehab!

So now I have a Raleigh M20, steel frame mountain bike. I traveled here by plane so I don't know when I'll get it home. Maybe it will be great for me, or I'll have a project bike that I'll end up selling (I still want to check out Terry's Susan B.). I just wanted to share
Very Cool!! You know project bikes can be some of the most fun. You can shop around online to get it setup just the way you want it. Getting parts off of Ebay can be great for that.
