Monday Market - What Will $75 Buy These Days?

With so many Owner Submitted OTS streaming in lately, I have not done a Monday Market in over a month—I think we’re due.

Summer is officially in full swing and the national average for a gallon of gas has reached $4.10. Appropriately, the average asking price for an “old 10-speed” on Chicago Craigslist is a robust $113.11(as of June 23). Similar to the PistaDex, the price of some old 10-speeds are beginning to eclipse their original MSRP—leaving thrifty cyclists who have relied upon depreciated old ten speeds to feed their hoarding habits in withdrawal.

Are there any good deals on crappy bikes anymore? Well, in today’s edition of Monday Market, I am shopping with only $75 in-hand, and surprisingly, there are still enough old crappy 10-speeds to go around—especially if you live in Ohio.
