i personally wouldnt pay 80 for the bike, maybe if its in great shape, i saw one at the local flea market, the lens in the tank was broken and they wanted $275, now THAT is steep.
thats funny you guys just said that, because i was staring at it yesterday and it does appear to come apart there, the only problem is its stuck so with elbow grease it shouldnt be a problem, i have no need to put in 2 pieces for now tho :p
i keep coming back to this thread and reading it, and i always thought critical mass more about getting people to get out and ride a bike and for drivers to be aware that there are a significant group of bicyclists in the community. Sure a cyclist may be hit and killed or injured and the bike...
how close is the local LBS because if my local bike store is like 10 blocks from me does that make a local local bike store like 1 block :P im just kidding, acronyms are great
i am all for bicycle rights however critical mass really isn't the most organized thing, at least not in my town. there looked like there was only of group of 20 in the video, here in gainesville they get to be around 100 or more... that driver was way out of line tho. Road rage is scary problem...
