after someone stole my mongoose diverge out of my girlfriends garage i was encouraged to go out and buy another bike. i decided i wanted to try something new so i searched craigslist for used road bikes that would be good for me to start on. i came across a 1985 trek 470 black with red lettering. the bike has rust patches on the frame in various places but overall the frame looks solid. it came equipped with 700X23 tires and has a cateye vectra computer. all the gears shift great and it also has a this scott armrest thing which allows you to bring your arms in tighter than the normal grips allow. the guy i bought it from was asking $120 for it but i talked it down and snagged it for $80. I think i will get used to riding it and will upgrade next to a vintage cannondale maybe. one question though. the frames paint looks a little tired. should i respray the entire frame. i don't know how expensive that would be. plus don't know if that would ruin the resale value if i ever wanted to sell it.
