It was purchased in 1995, rode for 2 weeks and it's been in storage ever since.

  1. Not alot. Rust means it was’nt stored properly. And since it’s been sitting for over ten years, the botton bracket and hubs will have to be re-greased.. $50, if your’re lucky…The tires and tubes may also have to be replaced.

  2. Its junk. The first thing any buyer would ask about a steel framed bike is about rust. Rusting for over 10 yrs? Egads……Not to mention the 850 isnt exactly a top end machine.

  3. I’d just donate it to Goodwill and take a tax write off. A brand new 820 is only about $250, and it’s a way better bike than a ten year old 850.
