For Sale: KHS Montana Hybrid Bicycle.  Used, sturdy, not heavy, good condition.
12 speed, straight handlebars, cantilevered brakes, knobbly tires for winter.

$100 obo, includes U-lock.

I will be in Chicago (Hyde Park) Aug 13th - Aug 17th for a wedding --
this bike is in storage there.  

If you're interested, check the current time before contacting me.  If
it's *before* noon eastern time on the 13th, email me.  After that, call
773-363-0539 and leave a contact number and time to call back.  Please
be extra polite -- that's the number of my great-aunt who is putting me
up for the weekend.  She does not have an answering machine but is often
home.  Do not call after 9pm local time.

UPDATE: asking price reduced from $100 to $50.

Now that I'm in Chicago, I have discovered two temporary problems that 
make it harder to sell the bike in a short time.  1) The bike pump I 
have has the wrong kind of connector, so the tires will be flat when you
look at it, and 2) the brake cables have become just stiff enough to prevent 
testing of the brakes (which are otherwise fine).  Both of these can be 
rectified with a bit of work, but I don't have the right tools to do it,
and I have to sell this bike before I go back to Boston this Monday.

More details: 
-Originally paid $250.
-Shimano click-shifters.
-Will throw in two boxed brand-new bike wheels (ie spokes&axle, no tire) that 
 someone abandoned here. (They are a different size than my bike,  but I
 forgot to write down what size they were.)

See contact info below if you're interested.  Do not email a reply, I will
not get it before I leave town.
