I know the ironmans are around, I think I saw one on CL before can't remember exactly. I actually saw one in the wild on a ride in Terry-Hershey park near Katy, TX, no pics since we passed opposite ways at over 20 mph each. But the color scheme and bike were undeniable.
That would really be funny/awesome though if we all got one and went on a ride together sometime, it's definitely doable.

One of you north texans should pick THIS one up. Not an ironman, but I'm pretty sure you could be in the club with this one...

I have a 56cm 1986 Schwinn Peloton. It's a great riding/handling frame and made of Columbus SL, (not Tenax) with all English threading. It was one step down from the Paramount that year and came equipped with Suntour Superbe Pro. There is no rust or structural damage of any kind. It comes with a Tange needle bearing roller headset, but a nice Dura Ace 7410 headset is available also.
Interested in 54-56cm frames (vintage and modern, Fe, Al, CF, Ti). I like Italian, Japanese, American, custom, anything... I'm also willing to trade for Sram shifters, RD, other parts. Let me know what you have.

I have a very specific trade that I will throw out there to see if anybody has one.
I have a 1987 +/- Falcon Harrier 62 CM full bike, but I would like to swap the frame with somebody who has a 56 CM Falcon Harrier.
Swap Frame for frame. I say we leave the headset and BB but I can pull that as well if needed.

With that, let me also throw a Schwinn Waterford Paramount into the ring. https://picasaweb.google.com/jchan985/SchwinnParamount. This doesn't fit me either
. Frame is in worse condition than the Ciocc (had rust on the TT cable guides that is now neutralized, numerous paint chips and scratches).

If have a 1999-2000 is Team Yeti Road project in fine shape. 52/3CM full ultegra with WCS bars... Just does not fit me right. It is more than 10 years old so that makes in vintage I hope :-)
Looking to trade to something more comfortable for an old guy. I am looking for a 21" 1986 Trek 520 in good shape. Specifically that bike.

1989 Bianchi Strada LX. Bike will include seat, seatpost, stem, bars, celeste cage, brake levers, calipers and pads. Will not include the pictured wheels and cranks*. Frame is in good shape, there is a little rust on the outside of the cups on the steer tube, and a small amount of surface rust between the seat stays. I believe the bike to be a 62cm.
*Those wheels/crank are only on the bike for storage purposes. The bike was never ridden as a fixed gear and all braze ons are still present. I'll need to check my parts box, and if I still have the original suntour downtube shifters those will be included as well.
Thanks for looking!

Great idea. I have to offer an old Gitane TDF frame with a bent fork steer tube. Can be fix but you would have to most likely cut the old one off, reamed out and replaced with another french (or not) stem from another old fork. It's a small frame around a 52cm measured from center to center of top tube
.
Has the old Huret honey comb rear dropouts. Don't worry about the color, for the most part its been sanded down and better yet was painted by the previous owner with cans of spray paint so brake cleaner does a good job of removing. Does come with the fork which is chrome on the lower ends. mcrane428@msn.com

Hi Scuba....I was wondering what size wheels your Gitane frame uses...700c/27"/650B? And could you post a photo of the fork also please?
Thanks!

Will trade for something with a 57cm top tube 57-58 c-c seat tube.
The frame
Diamant Max- the fork blades are not Max, but I do believe it is the original fork.
The frame is in great condition with a few small chips and some light surface rust speckles on some of the chrome.
56 c-c seat tube
55.5 c-c top tube
1" 145mm head tube
130mm rear spacing
More Pics

Have: 1987 Schwinn Super sport frame. 56cm. the classic and desirable pink with white. frame is 7.5or8/10. no rust, just some minor scratches. originally had 600 index stuff.
(pic not mine, but happy to send picture to anyone interested - PM me).
Looking for: something a little less pink (although some pink is ok). 56-58cm range. something European would be nice, but will consider anything with a cool / unique paint job.

Anyone interested in a really small early '90s Specialized Allez? This one is a 46cm with 51cm top tube. I'll trade the frame/fork/headset/maybe some other parts like bottom bracket/seatpost/stem/bars, I just want to keep all the RX100 stuff. There's a small dent in the middle of the top tube- not sure how or when that happened, but it doesn't seem to affect the ride.
I am interested in trading for a good-quality mixte frame, one with twin top tubes. I usually ride about a 48-50cm.
