I'm keeping one for use on my trainer after I fit a road tire in the back for a smoother ride. ( That was annoying with my TREK.) And gave the other one to a young 15 yrs old girl who's mother is a patient of mine. They are not well off and this was her very first bicycle. She cried, I cried. We all cried.

That's a great find LJ, I love a bargain myself and it's heartwarming knowing you gave the other bike to that not so well off girl.
