Are you suggesting I operate at the very budget end of the 'classic and vintage' market @biggs682 ?

You know me so well

No I am saying that you know a bargain when you see one

Looks like a decent ride for the money - lazy, clumsy obviously-AI-written ad prose makes me want to push the seller under a bus, however..

Nope, not out here most bikes appear to be cheap, battered things. Except for the one I'll be using on Wednesday for a bike tour into Albania and around Lake Ohrid.

Looks like a lot of bike for the money; and again steel and (admittedly crap) STIs!

I wonder what the ride quality's like with the size of that tubing..

I would think it rides extremely well

Looks like it could be very stiff, but the proof would be in the riding!

These o/s steel framed - a mix of cromo & hi-ten - Giant touring bikes from around the turn of the century, are not fashionable or recognised, but (imho) very underrated: someone will get a fantastic handling bicycle that will carry four panniers in comfort.
