The seat looks a little low in relation to the stem. This might cause some discomfort on longer rides.

Eh, never mind.

Another "fully functional" bike without a chain.
Those wheels required some skill to fabricate, unfortunately they're too big for that bike.

Neat. They actually look like they're rotating backwards, but they're obviously not.

Bike PEUGEOT 10-spd vintage X-tall Road racing - $175 (Duluth)



condition: good

Nice lightweight vintage road bike with newer tires. works great. Fits person about 5'10" to 6'-13"

" " Note to you BLOWHARD MORONS out there: The fork is not bent. Most PEUGEOTS of the '70s forks DID NOT line up with the head tube angle. This is normal. The last pic is from the 1972 Dutch catalog showing this EXACT MODEL in diagram. Keep your comments to yourself...... " "

I noticed this on on....TimmyT's signature and thought it belonged here.

That is a seriously messed up lens. Usually such distortion happens towards the edges of the image not the center. But it could be weirdly cropped as well.

I haven't seen aero levers on a bullhorn bar before, not even homemade ones. The effect is not all that bad.

Negatives: It's painted red and gold, and the front shifter broke off (see 3rd pic), rear shifter works fine.

$50 firm
26" tires
21.5" frame
Shimano Components

Please email/text if interested.

Thank you.

You don't want this Bike - $150 (U City)

You don't want this Bike

This bike is probably not for you. It's a gritty but solid frankenstein build that is for the following purposes only:
- grocery store
- get beer
- go to the bar
- leave out in the rain/over night
- loan to your friends
- go to a party
- get beer
- bike polo
- skitching


specifics about the bike:
- blue
- raleigh- grand prix
- hella comfortable due to schwinn seat
- raleigh cranks with nice pedals; also blue
- 59cm from center of bottom bracket to top of seat post
- 27" qr wheel up front w/new tube and tire
- 700c w/coaster brake (white) w/new tube and tire in back
- comfy upright handlebars so you can ride and talk on your phone or drink your cappuccino without being awkwardly hunched over the handlebars as if the seat post went directly into your arse.
- newish chain
- 24.6 lbs (this is pretty average/lighter weight but could definitely be easily improved upon with your own upgrades if desired.)

$150 o.b.o.

Does anybody know what this is?

RARE! Specialized Stumpjumper ROAD BIKE

[h=2]RARE! Specialized Stumpjumper ROAD BIKE - $195 (Santa Ana)[/h]


more ads by this user
Specialized StumpJumper Road Bike, If you are a specialized fan you know that Stumpjumper is one of their Mountain Bike model. This was one of Specialized early roadbikes which are hard to find.

The bike runs amazing its ready to go and hit the road, For its age it is in great condition, AND IT IS FAST!!!! 54Inch frame

The only problem this bike has is that the Rear Derailer needs ajustment to shift to smaller gears, I do not have to tool for it otherwise Id fix that problem.
