Yes, I guess it's not a big deal, but it just looks bad to me. I'm

Looks to me like any bike that was:
a.) built up in part with components that were hanging around the garage
b.) entrusted to someone for care who doesn't know much or care much about bikes
Those are sometimes the best value purchases.

It looks worth a visit to me. It looks as if the owner wanted to make
his rear aero lever into a non-aero lever, so presumably you'd have to

The frame looks to be in good condition, but the sloppy work on the
bars would lead me to take a hard look at the rest of the components
and maintenance. But ultimately it's more about a fair price, than it
