It's been a busy couple of days at work, with lots of local travel. The good news is that while out and about, I came home with a few bikes.......

Bike #1 is one I picked up today for $30.00. It is a little blue Peugeot "Super Sport" of indeterminate year, made out of 103 tubing. 10 speeds, chromed forks, Simplex junk fore and aft, center pull brakes, Stronglight crank, and steel dimpled wheels. A very pretty blue though, and in excellent cosmetic shape - probably a garage hanger most of its' life. I was in the middle of evaluating another $30 bike (a red Shogun) for my daughter, but this one is pretty clean and might jump to the front of the line - I'll let her decide.

You can see it here: Little Blue Peugeot

Bike #2 is one of a pair I picked up for $90.00. This one is a light blue Univega 12 speed Nuovo Sport mixte made from Cromoly tubing. Essentially new, with owner's manual, wedge pack, rack, tool kit, patch kit, spare tubes (NIB), and a first aid kit. I doubt it has 50 miles on it, and it belonged to the proverbial "little old lady". All Suntour components. All it needs is adusting and cleaning - practically perfect in every way! Looking through tha owner's manual, I found the original receipt dated 1983 - $250.22

Bike #3 is the second half of the Univega pair, a Grand Tourismo made from 1024 tubing. It has some light rust and paint nicks, but it is in very nice shape overall. It came with the owner's manual, a rear seat bag, rack, spare tubes (NIB), tools, a patch kit, and a Zefal pump. While the tires are sun rotted and in need of replacement, it does have barcon shifters. Again, the original receipt is in the book, dated 1983 - $351.40

As if I didn't have enough to do this weekend!
