Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage used Murray Phoenix road bicycle. Manufactured of steel in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee by Murray in 1985 this bike sports a 10 speed drive train and 26" wheels. There is a mysterious Dr. Pepper sticker on the top tube; possibly indicating this was a promotional bike of some sort although we can not verify this through our own research.
BIKE CONDITION
This bike is in somewhat rough overall condition; the blue paint job has numerous wear and scratches but the frame is free of major dings and dents. The paint is chipped and peeling in places; most notably the bottom bracket shell. The decals are peeling from the seat tube. There is a fair amount of surface rust throughout the frame but nothing that diminishes it's strength. Mechanically the bike rides, shifts and brakes okay but will need a complete tune up to reach it's full potential as one of our shop's mechanics has not tuned it up. Both wheels are quite true and straight but could also use some touching up to be perfect.
This bike is being sold as-is. Please see photographs for details.
