There's a Giant Escaper '92 bike near me for 156€ and i think there's a Cannondale CAAD3 or 4 in a "junkyard" far from me...



I really want a HT bike to keep it simple and direct. Non of FS complications and weight. Just a simple back up bike.

But then again... I don't know if i want a alloy frame or a steel frame. A love steel but i never possessed an old high-end alloy frame. I'll let the price decided for me. :)
