Hello,
I'm a young man (20) looking to make some inroads into cycling. My motivation is for fitness mostly and I plan on building up to long distance scenic rides. I've been discouraged by the relatively high prices of even modest road bikes but I've come across a deal. I'm buying offered a 1982 Fugi Royal 2 58cm frame. I'm 5/10 and have long legs. The bike is said to be in excellent condition and the owner seems honest. He's asking for 100CDN. Is this a fair deal? I don't want or expect anything that great, just something that works and will go fast.
