Just rescued this '71 Fastback from a horrible life a few days ago. Poor thing, we have already de-rusted and cleaned. I will post the after pics. Anyone got a seat and sissy bar laying around?
Cleaned up a bit now.

I have a solo polo in Houston, but it will be months until I can lay a hand on it. Not sure if fastbacks came with them or not though?,,,,BD

Had a good week/weekend:
(As seen in the eBay/Craigslist thread)
Surly flip/flop laced to open sports:
Sold some stuff [that was given to me], drove a ton, managed to get all this home for $200.

WV is not flat..
Bill you are a fan of the older mountain bikes. I grabbed this 1994 Trek 950 today from a Goodwill. And I am a bit jealous of all the fun Dan had this weekend. Nice stuff
I'm digging the purple bar ends..

Try as I might, I'll never get used to a 70s paramount with stem shifters.

Yep. CL, word of mouth, flea market, etc. Vitus is already gone, I only kept the full dura ace group from it(for free + profit ), thinking of dressing the 50th anniversary paramount with it.

I picked up this Columbus MAX tubed Cramerotti frameset today for only $40. The seat tube above the BB has been repaired (quite well) and there is no fork but for that price, I have no complaints. I am going to build it up with an old Ultegra group I have and, if I like how it rides, I will get a nice new paint job in the spring.

Is 9spd now trash? Saw some alloy hanging out and it was Dura Ace double and 11- 23 DA cassette in an Ultegra box. Looks like take -off's.

OK, not quite the dump, C-list. My mother-in-law is looking to do some exercise inside on a trainer....and could NOT get a leg over these silly top bars of even shorter "Normal" frames....so I found this. Nishiki Riviera. Needs some cleanup, grease, tape and tires and it should be good for the rollers. Will probably stick a big gel seat on it, at least for the time being....how do you "Fluff up" the suede leather of these beasties? Was this worth $100? I am thinking so, pretty clean....but needs work, garage queen.

I think I saw that bike. Was it from the guy who is moving and had another bike with it? The ad focused on the other bike and had like one or two bad, dark pics of the Nishiki hanging upside down. My thought when I saw the ad was, "Forget the road bike, that Nishiki looks cool."
Found it: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/bik/3661304594.html
That motobecane looks nice too. Did you give him the ol' bundle approach like Frank likes to do?

YUP, that would be the one....only enough for this one, he did throw in a car rack, and offered a couple BSOs for next to nothing. The Moto, a NEW one from CHINA 4130 CroMo tig welded, DT Shifters, very clean, entry level road bike...but I already have several ridable road bikes and a couple in the works...$250 is probably about half price, so an OK buy. I did not recognize ANY of the brand name parts on it though....Nishiki is VERY clean, just a few scratches, a tiny bit of rust, needs tires, bar tape, grease, a pedal cap...

Nice snag. Too bad the guy threw out that Bushnell scope, I've been wanting one of those.
