Hey-o,
My friend Jack is selling some bikes. They’re mountain bikes which are super ocol. Plus they’re cheap. Email me if you’re interested and I’ll pass it along to Jack (I don’t want to out his email address on the web).
He says:
The green Kona needs some love, but the steel frame is still in very good condition. I’ll let it go for $50.
Update: 18″ frame. Here are some specs

The white GT is in really good shape. Jess took good care of it. It’s got an aluminum frame that was the same frame that GT used on several of their higher-end bikes that year, so it would make a great bike to start with that can be upgraded as fit. It’s ready to go right now for someone looking to get started. We want $100 for it.
Update: 14.5″ frame. specs.

Hi there. My friends husband forwarded this info. to me. I’m looking for a ’starting out’ bike to use, and I guess this would work since I’m about 5′4". He suggested I check out the second bike listed. Let me know.
Thanks!
Brenna
Hey brenna,
The bike’s still available, I’ll pass it along to Jack.
Update – The GT is sold. Thanks, Brenna! I hope you enjoy it.
Your welcome and thanks for meeting up with us tonight! I’ll let you know if I have any ?’s, but I think I’m good to go.
And the Kona is now sold, too. Thanks Danita (via Iris). I hope it serves you well. Dave should be able to give it all the love it needs to be super-fun-town good.
PS> So help you if I find out you removed the Danzig sticker…
You’ll be happy to know that solvent + WD-40 + thin lube + grease = a working shifter. Woo-hoo!
That’s great. I’m glad my diagnosis of “I think summin’s wrong in the handlebar area” pointed you in the right direction. What’s the name of that bike repair book you recommended? I do like the idea of being able to work on my own bikes…
Barnett’s Manual. But it’s an invenstment unless you can find a used copy.
