$10 Bianchi
I stopped by a yard sale today to check out some bikes I saw from the road. Most were just cheap MTBs and BMX bikes. I asked the guy if he had any more and he pointed to the side of the garage. Leaning against the wall was a Bianchi Hybrid (Boardwalk). It has Suntour gears and overall is in pretty good shape. It looks to be mid 90s but I'm really not sure. Not exactly vintage, I know, but still a pretty good find. I think it would make a great commuter. It even has a nice alloy rear rack on it.

Better than my hunting today. Some fellow a couple blocks over had an older, Specialized MTB out. It had huge dents in the top and downtubes. He wanted $20.00 for it. I passed - will see if he puts it out for the trash Monday night.

hmmm just brought back from Boston 2 nice finds. Went on a ride with some friends and one mentioned that their roomate had a few bikes to get rid of. I picked up another NOS casti frame and fork and a raeligh frame, fork, derailleurs and cranks. The raleigh has campy components, gran sport? I'm guessing mid 70's? I'll post pics when I get a chance.
