Made an offer

Well, I stopped by and made an offer on the GS. Offered $900. That'll keep it just under a grand when taxes and all are included. Of course, now I'm kicking myself, shoulda offered $800. I'll call back tomorrow and see if it's accepted (being sold at a consignment place).

No. His stuff isn't junk. He just keeps eyes and ears peeled for old bikes, picks them up for a song when they aren't worth fixing, keeps the good parts, junks the rest. He probably has enough parts to build two or three complete bikes, but those are his spare parts.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
