Hood? My bike is supposed to have a hood?
No wonder I can't find the freon connection to give the AC a boost...

Yeah it's not a bad bike but I bet you could find better for $2,800. It will be a project He spent a lot of time polishing which is nice but It looks like a labor rich new parts poor type of build. Nothing wrong with that but it limits "value" also. I would want to look under the fork boots too. (for rusty tubes or leaky seals) I can't help wondering what fork boots are covering up when i see them!
Especially because many other rust prone parts have been sprayed flat black.
What's the title like? I am still trying to decide what kind of frame that is.
I look at the garage and have to guess he buys partial projects, more or less finishes them and sells them (um, that's me too!). Check the AGE (not tread wear) of that "expensive" rear tire. What's a 10 year old tire worth? Just a heads up yah know?
