1983 Trek 500
I found myself a 1983 Trek 500 for $130. I tore it down to the raw frame and built it back up needing only bar tape, brake cables and derailer cables(optional). I have a set of Dia-comp brake hoods on order as I type this. Total investment is unde $150 and the bike rides like a dream. Missed out on a Bridgstone 400 for $70 the same day, win some loose some.

Really nice catch, IMHO, much nicer than the Bridgestone.
