Since the rule is that the bike needs to be purchased after 2/14, this is my only entry. Got it Yesterday for $30(USD) on Craigslist. Missing rear tube & tires seem to be from 1970s. Quick bench testing shows that brakes and gears seem to work. Chain flexible, rims straight. Pretty sure it would ride with a new tube in back.

Weirdly customized by prior owners with turkey levers & universal side-pulls. Also barcons and suntour FD. Avocet soft seat. My first proper road bike since my last Peugeot was stolen 30 years ago. This one appears to be a higher-end model than my 1980s one was.

I plan to tear down, clean, oil, replace tires, check/replace cables and use as is. No plans to do the leave-it-unlocked test.
