My heart skipped a beat when I saw the frame/color and if this would have been a 54cm, I would have been begging for a Wisconsin'ite to help me out.

Classic 1969 Gitane Pro Super Corsa 10 Speed with all Campi Gruppo.
Mavic brakes. Sewup tires. Original leather saddle.
Rarely used, very good condition.
Call Steve: 707-824-4477

My buddy and I took a drive to pick this up yesterday... Ill try to snag some photos of it later as it is definitely a keeper and in good enough shape to only need a general tune-up and ride. Some rust that cane be taken care of easily without effecting paint or chrome, sticky bearings... but the Brooks Pro looks as though its never been used, not a single crack or sign of use.

Like I said, pictures are needed. And more information, Ill get photos and make a thread later, hopefully, although this will not be my bicycle...

~Reynolds 531~ Vintage Trek Elance 400 - $400 (Cambridge)

Date: 2010-04-22, 5:09PM EDT
Reply to: sale-4vrhy-1705224921@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

Stunning 1987 Trek Elance 400 18-speed Sport Bike featuring a 54cm Sparkling Blue Reynolds 531 frame with Silver and Gold Accents.

Additional Info:
-Upgraded Suntour Bar End Shifters
-Shimano Light Action Derailleur
-Shimano Z-System Brakes
-Maillaird 600 hubs on 27" Wheels
-Vintage San Marco Saddle

Beautiful, smooth, light, yet stiff. Steel bikes like this simply are not constructed anymore. Could be converted to a single speed or fixed gear, or upgraded to the best modern components. Tragically, it's a bit too small for me at 6' and I can't justify keeping a gem like this as some type of trophy.
$400 is my asking price. Thanks for looking.

Trek 1100 Roadbike - Vintage - $255 (Dunstable MA)

Date: 2010-04-22, 2:58PM EDT
Reply to: sale-mp8gk-1704987794@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

This is a great aluminum road bike that was made in the early 90's. I've had it since it was new. It is light and has a triple front crank like a mountain bike to easily climb hills. Mechanically the bike is in excellent condition. Cosmetically it is not like new, but in good condition for it's age. Here is a list of information and components.



Size - 22 1/2 " frame (57cm. ) with 32 inch stepover height

Frame - 6061 T6 aluminum - cromoly steel fork

Speeds - 21

Derailers - Suntour Edge Accushift Rear and Edge front

Crank - Sakae Edge tripple

Chainrings - Sakae RoundTech

Wheels/Tires- Matrix Titan II 700c with Matrix CD2 tires

Brakes - Dia Compe Edge sidepull alloy

Seat - Trico Sports gell cloth



We are located in Dunstable MA about 10 minutes from the Pheasant Lane Mall. Since it's a bit difficult to describe cosmetic condition in a Craigslist add and easy on the phone, please give me a call if you would like more information or want to come see/ride it. Phone # is 978-649-0613 or feel free to contact via e-mail.

Here is the classic working bike from the People's Republic of China. Alas, they are forsaking the bicycle mode in favor of automobiles anymore so, even as they go with traffic jams and ballroom dancing, you can still enjoy this piece of cultural history. I bought it and never completed the assembly of the front rod brake and chain ring cover but I have all the parts. Someone should put this diamond in the rough to use. Steel frame is 20.5 " and the standover height is 33.5". This is different from the usual Flying Pigeons in that it sports a silver flake paint job that the previous owner enhanced with a bit of gourmet rattle can dots. It also features the rarer double top tube. This is a tall frame single speed and somewhat heavy but perfect for riding around town. Aftermarket parts and accessories are readily available through a L.A. based importer.
904-4034



I'm actually kind of interested to see this bike...I know it's rare, but is it worth a 2 hour drive?
