'94 A2M 16"? $100 SF Bay Area

So basically it's not worth getting then? I know you guys said it was a good deal earlier, but nobody's gotten it, so... ?

The asking price is $100 offer her a little less and you have a good deal in my opinion you just have to put a little work into it. If it was an 18 or bigger and I lived close I'd grab it.

Niika,

Google servicing the rapid-fire (trigger) shifters, a youtube link will pop about servicing them, 5 minutes and they're like new. The "old" can be serviced and repaired, it's the new garbage that's disposable.

If not for the fact that shipping to ny would be an extra 100, plus another 50 should he have a bike shop "professionally" pack it i would be all over it. Good deal for someone a little closer though

Here is a page with video on how to perform maintenance on the Shamino RapidFire shifters. Excellent tutorial. I used wd40 to loosen it up and garage door lubricant from Home Depot for lube. Works great..

Thanks for the tutorial, mix!

So, I asked my aunt who lives very nearby Sausalito to go pick this A2M up for me, but, as always seems to be my luck, for some odd reason the owner suddenly changed her mind about selling and said she's decided to keep her 'cuda after all. How weird! This was a while ago, but I didn't bother mentioning it til now because I was holding my breath waiting for news from Bo about the A2T, which I finally got today -- it's been shipped and is on its way! Hooray!!

Post some pictures on Member bikes and the serial number on the serial number thread.

OK, I will soon.

Great news on the A2T. That's a wonderful high-end bike that you'll love. After a quick ride, you'll forget about losing out on the A2M.

I think that when people list these bikes cheap, they take a step back when they get a lot of interest, and decide not to sell at that price after all, and will post it later, marked up.

My bet is that we'll see that A2M show up again.
