If there really is no rust and all electrics work without oddities then grab it. Bearing tend to knock and rumble (whining sounds a bit worse!) <p></p><i></i>

The rear wheel bearings are quite expensive, even if it is a after-market one so look out! The front ones are cheaper... <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Real power and Turbo-shit</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br><br><br></p><i></i>
