Saturday I drove 500 miles through torrential rains and Daytona 500 type traffic to pick up my latest acquisition. Since I live in the "used bike vacuum" part of the U.S. , I have very few options for obtaining decent (non-Walmart) used bicycles in my local area. I've been looking for a touring frame for a while, and even though I see them all the time on E-Bay, I just can't bring myself to paying $60 -$70 for shipping.
I bought this old Nashbar touring bike from a fellow on our touring bike list. It's a mid-80's model that has been well-used and apparently well-taken care of. At least the components all look well maintained; cosmetically the bike could use some TLC. But, it's a touring frame with the right geometry.
