Hey, I'm interested in your Sofrider; I sent an email to the craigslist link. How old is this bike? Estimate of mileage?

Thanks for doing that. I contacted the seller and its still available. Before purchasing though, I was wondering about one or two things you might know. Since this appears to be a Sofrider V1, I believe it has 8 speeds. I'm used to 16 speeds or more and using just about all of them. Should I shy away from this because of speeds? Also, could I simply upgrade the gearset and for more speeds or would this be cost prohibitive? Any thoughts on the V1 and its gears would be appreciated.

If you click on the first picture in the craigslist advertisement then in the zoomed in view it appears to have a front triple with two closely spaced high gears and a small granny. The picture is a little too far to be absolutely sure, but that is what I am seeing. Perfect starter Cruzbike. Go Don! and welcome to the Cruzbike Tribe.

I can also see that there are 3 chain rings; the chain is engaged on the middle ring. The large chain ring (outer black one) looks like an oval Q ring.
