    Swooped up a Trek 800 Sport today. V-brakes, 3×7 grip shift, 18.5″ size, but its a threaded headset/ (I think quill stem?), which is new to me. This thing is BRAND NEW (NOS), and i got it for $40!!! Weird thing is it has a bent handlebar. You could fry eggs on any part and come up with perfect over easy. I’d stir that puddin with my spatula.

    Oh the possibilities.

    I believe you have a bike, the part that gets me is ” This thing is BRAND NEW (NOS), and i got it for $40!!! ” that kills me ! With the fad of single speeds going on it is rare to find just a frame for that on e-bay unless it is beat to hell or has a crack in it…Nice score Wild Man, now show some pictures of it. I wrote this then remember I grab that Gt for ten bucks but it was in major need of TLC..I guess if you catch a person out of the loop or could care less..

    Can someone move this thread to off-topic? I must have had a couple of beers when I posted.
    YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND :ugeek:

    Photos are on the way!

    I troll KSL.com classifieds a couple of times a day. Some old grandpa had it hanging in his 6-car garage for the last 15 years. Cost me $10 in gas to go pick it up in the old Lincoln, but I have a couple of days off now to tinker with it.

    It’s a solid 45 miles away, which is $40 in gas for the old Lincoln. But yeah that’s a frickin STEAL. Right up my alley too, but my price point tends to be a little lower. Hence not wanting to drive. :) I’m a stin-gee bastard.

    Wifey rides a DBack Vital1, I have the A2R, A2MS, a 2003 Giant Boulder SE (still building it but its close), and a Proflex 656.

    And the New Zealand built Avanti RidgeRider that just got stolen. {R.I.P}
