Forgive me for posting a non-fishing need here, but I'm looking for a used 10 speed (or more) road bike (thin tires, not a mountain bike). It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but would prefer it to be in rideable condition. I don't mind replacing an innertube or re-taping handlebars, maybe replacing the chain, but if it's more complicated than that- well let's just say I'm no bike mechanic. I'd pay up to $100. I'm 5'9" or so and would be looking for an appropriate sized bike. If you have one hanging from your garage rafters let me know....you can message me here, send an email or call. I am in the Oshkosh area. Thanks-

Nuts to that. Get a canoe or kayak and peruse the upper lakes. Make sure you get a gel seat. Gotta keep the boys happy.

It's not that bad, Mark. I have been riding a bit this summer, but all I have is a mountain bike that is too small for me. I am working my way up to longer rides, but I am doing 30-40 mile trips now, and have a 50+ mile trip planned for Aug. 9th. I was hoping to have a better bike by then. It sure beats jogging....
