Team Chance question?
I am trying to decipher the serial number on this Team Chance before making an offer.
The serial number is H1N02328 Any insight greatly appreciated. Cheers, M3mark |

'Team Chance' as in one of the cheap Taiwanese made bikes for the Canadian market?
They aren't very sought after and it looks rather beat from the little glimpse in the pic you posted.

Ah, I was not aware of cheap Taiwanese frames made under the team chance name.
Here's the only other picture I have. I wasn't looking for a vintage rebuild candidate, but a reasonable project bike to become my coffee shop cruiser. My local bike shop has tons of older parts that I can access to bring it back to life on a budget. With that in mind, is it worth a couple hundred bucks? |

I don't think it would be a terrible candidate for an around town beater, but I wouldn't throw a couple hundred at it.
There are threads here on the Canadian market Fats, but a Google search might find them for you more easily.

Much appreciate the input. I'll bid low and keep looking...
I wondered why the serial looked so random. |
