I got home from visiting my mother-in-law in the hospital to pick up my two younger sister-in-law(10 & 17) to stay with us until she gets out. Got situated and some food in the oven and check CL to see if anything interesting came up. I noticed a "cheap bikes" and decided to see what was cheap. He had a Raleigh Technium frame/fork for $20, Peugeot made with carbolite which he though meant it was carbon fiber was junk and then a Fuji Seacrest mtb listed up for $20 that needed alot of work. But I'm in the market for a vintage mtb and never had a Fuji before and this really caught my eye. So I give him a call and he's a younger high school kid who just picks this stuff at thift shops and from the trash. He never fixes stuff when it breaks and just finds another cheap working bike instead. So he had a collection of broken stuff in his mom's basement and she said it had to go.
So I get there and the Peugeot is just a gas pipe special which I figure and the Fuji Seacrest is what I wanted and was in decent condition but needed a overhaul with cables and lubing. Then he had a really rough Legano Gran Premio frame/fork, TA cranks, Campy Record(pre Nuovo Record...just Record) rear derailleur, Campy shifters, and some Mafac Racer brake calipers. The frame is completely shot as it sat outside for quite some time and I'm guessing water got into driveside chainstay. Then froze and bursted. I was thinking of just tapping it down and laying down a couple of beads and sanding them down smooth.
So the Fuji Seacrest rider, spotless 52cm Raleigh Technium frame/fork/derailleurs(f&r), haggered out Legano Gran Premio with campy bits and a 70's Phil Wood front wheel for a whopping $25! I'll get some pictures tomorrow morning. I think I did pretty good. He said he's always coming across stuff like this so he'll give me a call whenever he gets anymore of this "old ten speed stuff"
