Raleigh road bike
Looks like a pretty nice Raleigh at a good price. I emailed the seller and found out it's a 56cm frame. Too small for me, but thought someone else here might be interested in it.

Agreed, if that was a one year deal, whoah, maybe the price should be higher at that. That is a very nice Raleigh.

Nice. That's a one-year-only 1973 RRA. Cool find and great price.

New Hampshire/Vermont(if applicable as someone corrected me) with some more good deals.
$25 project bike but it looks like it has most everything, needs RD and chain it says so if someone was nearby, a good deal, a Peugot, I don't know why it is not reading out: https://nh.craigslist.org/bik/5397526258.html
https://nh.craigslist.org/bik/5331736946.html Astra with Pryma saddle in Leather(?), it looks like it, nice Mixte-ish bike, 20 inches... so big enough for many men to use.

I read Sheldon Brown said cheap Chiorda bicycles had a Pletscher plate on the seat stays, that's how you could tell it's cheap.
Looks like a Pletscher bicycle has a Pletscher plate on the seat stays. I never knew they ever made a bike, this CL ad claims this is a Pletscher bike, unique but I doubt anyone here would really in particular wish to have such a bike. One picture. And does the kickstand almost look as long as the chainstay? Pletscher I think made/makes kickstands too.
Even the handlebar, wrapped like this throws me a bit:

Fresh powder coat treatment on this Ciocc frameset. SLX tubing makes this pretty attractive.

That's some pretty thick powder coat, all the nice details of the frame are lost.

Though that paint job may well pour it on a bit too much, sometimes a nice thick paint job looks nice IMHO. An interesting contrast alright. Maybe on a frame that isn't such high quality.

Univega Gran Turismo touring road bike project - fifty bucks
I got this is a project and don't have time to work on it. It needs wheels and a full restoration. The shifters, brakes, derailleurs, etc are all there. size is 54cm medium. Seat post, crank, and headset move freely. Nothing is stuck. Moderate rust. Price is firm.

Classic Raleigh
Vancouver BC $500CAD ($350 USD - what a time to be near the border!) tall copper Raleigh International with Brooks saddle. They say 'all original except wheels and seat' but clearly not a campy derailleur (looks like Shimano 600 Arabesque rd & shifters). Looks like the paint is in nice condition.

I'm definitely no fan of powdercoat in many, many cases.

Someone needs to help Goodwill sell their bikes. Its probably handled by volunteers but its unfortunate a charity is losing out on money because of lousy pictures and poor descriptions. If they spent a small amount of effort to clean them and do minor repairs like putting fenders back on and tightening wheel bolts they could probably get much more than $10.00
Anyway, don't feel sorry for them: they are raking it in! Imagine all the stuff that sold for a pittance in-store before they even had auctions. They sell daily thousand-dollar watches and art now thanks to competitive bidding.

it is difficult to tell for sure from the lo-res image but i suspect cycle frame is actually a Kalkhoff. they built with Agrati lugs, crowns, and bulge-formed heads paired with Pletscher plate style bridges. missing bb fittings may have been Thun.
