Today I worked until 12 so I walked over and looked. I found 3 pretty nice bikes with price tags on them for under $70.00! I was pretty excited. I called Briant and asked him if he could come look at some with me. This bike was kinda behind some of the other ones and it didn't have a price tag on it.
It is a pretty good brand so I asked the guy how much he would sell it for. $60.00 was his answer. First we had to hook up the back break, then we did a little test driving. We decided that it was a good bike, and was the right size for Briant. Briant of coarse tried to negotiate a little with the guy and he did bring his price down 5 bucks!
We notice that the back break was still a little tight and it grabbed the wheel a little so I took it over to Idaho Mountain Trading (with some GH cookies to bribe with) and asked them if they could loosen it just a little for me. IMT has such nice people, I highly recommend them! Now the bike runs smooth!Briant's car is currently in the shop for maintenance, so I let him take my car and I got to ride this great find home! Yeah! Now we can go bike riding together!

That is way exciting. I really want a bike.
We got one for Mahon from the same shop, for $40. It's a great bike for what we need it for!
I should really start checking out the pawn shops around here to see what I can find.
Good bargain!
