Vintage steel townie - $60 (University and 34th)
Selling an '86 Puch townie. 27" wheels/tires. comes with working lights, rear twin folding baskets, bell and a lock cable. its a medium size frame - I'm 5'7" and I ride it as pictured. Shimano stem shifters. 7 speed indexed rear, 2 speed friction front. Rear derailleur works great. Front cable/derailleur need to be adjusted. Brake cables need the housing shortened as I switched to newer levers. Spray painted after I rebuilt it and also comes with touch up paint! A few minutes tune up work gets you a much nicer bike than the Walmart special and the baskets and lights alone cost the asking price.
Really good effort here, I'm assuming he picked up a somewhat neglected Puch cheap and repurposed it with inexpensive/leftover parts from other builds. As you go you can slap better/more specific parts to suit your need. It looks like that freewheel might be somewhat new, too. At $60 there's very little room for regret even if your bottom bracket turns into a cement mixer after 6 weeks. Speaking of I'd like to get a better look at that crank, it looks nice, you might be getting a bargain.
