Well, I got a couple more interesting pickups in the last few days. First was a 1984 ish Trek 420. Really good shape, should clean up well. Seller lived two blocks from my mountain house.
The second is a 1980 Raleigh Super Course 12 (guess on age). This one is a bit of a frankenbike. Has a MTB RD, and unfortunately, the rear wheel is a replacement (the front appears to be original, at least it is a Weinmann concave rim. What made this deal good, is that I traded two donor frames to a SS/FG builder for this bike. It was a win/win, as the guy really needed something not so freakin huge (traded him two 53cm frames), and he was going to strip this bike and just use the frame. For me, I have a pile of Raleigh panto'ed components, so I will be able to get an appropriate RD on here. And I like projects. And I like pruning the left overs. So we both came out great on this one. This came from the same guy I got the Prelude (above) from. We worked out a tentative deal then, but I needed to return with some trade stock.
