I picked this bike up yesterday and although there’s a bit of cleaning work to be done, and someday a paint-over (yech!), this will hopefully be perfect. It’s a 25″ frame with 700c wheels and cantilever brakes and should prove to be a great xtracycle conversion.

Mint-condition Ross Mt. Hood 18-speed cross bike for tall rider; 25” wheels; 25” frame; 34.5” crossbar height; ready to ride; hardly used; only $75. This is a great performing, highly efficient bike used sparingly for a few regional treks around the Boston area, outer Cape Cod, & White Mountains. Meticulously maintained & looks new. If you love biking, you’ll swear by this bike. Moving & must sell quickly at sacrifice price. CALL 617-xxx-xxxx 8AM-10PM
Woot!
A fantastic find (and much better than that mountain bike frame for the adventures you have planned).
Stickers and tape are the new paint for bikes:

Most importantly though, cut that pie plate off!
Yeah, I’ll have to explore that much cheaper option before investing in a paint job. Great idea. And I happen to have a role nice black gaffers tape.
