    "Classic Older Velosport 'Prestige' racing bike in good condition. Light & Fast. This is approximately a 1980 model when the Velosports were still quality bikes made in Quebec. This bike has original tires Shimano 600 gears and was lightly used."

    I don't know much about Velosports, but probably a nice Tange frame. Seems like a nice bike, very worthy of the asking price.

    Buy it. Plan to replace the 28 year old tires and tubes.

    Think about what $150 Canadian will get you at a bike shop.

    Looks nice.
    If you're buying this to ride, is the size right for you?

    I have a couple of Velos their well made solid bike, This bike seems clean and ready to ride, also has a speedometer, and that saddle looks pretty decent. Excellent first bike at a fair price, congrats.

    I hope the vendor was not selling you this particular bike because this is a picture of my bike and I still have it.

    It looks like the bike (or some bike anyway) was purchased 6 months ago.
