whitedtu Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I just can't wait, I signed up for a spinning class, and about an hour after I did I found a spinning wheel that a co-worker wants out of her basement. $100.00 and it's mine. should I do it? She said it's old and still works, it was her mothers, who bought it from a woman in Canada in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooker Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Do it. If it's still in working order and only needs a little TLC, $100 is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Debbie if its working definately buy it. Ask her if you can try it first and give her a deposit if you arent sure. Congratulations on your spinning class, if you need help with your wheel maybe someone there could advise you or go with you to check it out. Goodluck !
