I used to have a team banana.
it was NOT £150!
but it was ok, for a heavy beater thing.. f&f over 9Lb !!
there's lots around. I sold mine on and the guy rides it most days, still fixed.
I think the frame cost me £20. (with headset and bb) which was pricey at the time, and I put new wheels and cranks on.
I reckon most of these old conversions ride ok if you use decent wheels and not-too-horrible cranks. the headsets can usually be saved with some TLC.
