159.0. "HELP WITH A FIRENZE GL 5000" by ODIXIE::709ENG () Tue Oct 21 1986 10:37

    I have an opportunity to pick up a Firenze GL 5000 only slightly
    used.  It has approximately 40 miles on it, and the guy is asking
    $150.00.  Does anybody know anything abput these bikes...how good
    they are, how much they sell for new, etc.  All info would be greatly
    appreciated.		Thanx.......

159.1what is it made of?QUILL::FISHERMon Oct 27 1986 08:4320
no replies in 6 days means that noone has heard of it.

Perhaps if you would describe the components someone would offer an opinion.

My guess is that, since you asked the question, you might have a difficult
time describing the components, too.  Get the names off everything and
model designators also.  All the way down to the types of tires and
the pressure limits for the tires, that's often an indication of the
origin of the bike -- did it come from a shop or a department store, etc.
Are there any decals on the frame, what do they say?

Sometimes,

"It has approximately 40 miles on it, and the guy is asking $150.00."

means that the suggested list was $180 and it was on sale for 149.95 in a dept
store and someone's trying to break even.

Good luck,
