Bikes: Are several.

So Chung - this guy is a HEAVY poster on CL in Vancouver - is willing to let that bike go for $200, even though he has it up at $350 in his ad? He's always quick on the steals that go up on CL...I keep seeing the nice $80 CL bikes relisted within a few hours for a couple hundred more, and a familiar name & number!

One small bike that caught my eye (not a mixte, though), was this Nishiki Riviera GT in Cloverdale. Should be decent CrMo, Sugino cranks and Suntour stuff, most likely. Looks like it's got the 'Handmade by Kawamura' decal on the chainstay. Not a mixte/ladies' bike as such, but it's under 50cm (with zero headtube like in the picture, it couldn't be more than 48cm or so, I think they listed as 48 a while back, but no size in the current ad). $125:

Not as interesting (Golden Arrow is nice stuff, and that frame is nice too), and I do wonder why this one's been up for at least a month (but that might just be a seller out in Surrey who doesn't care to drive it into the city to give buyers a look at a time when not many are buying...).
