Re: Sad Story: was Schwinn Sidewinder from Walmart

An interesting thing I have noticed about purchasing used old-time
10-speeds :

=> If the frame is reynolds tubing, and the item (bike, frameset)
is priced less than $150, then the item is priced at less than the
cost of replacement materials (frame tubing, lugs.)

There aren't many markets that are more favorable to consumers of used
goods ...
