Vintage TREK bicycle - worried frame will not support my weight but this is my top choice. Way too small, nice bike though.

RALEIGH RACER Might be an OK buy if it fits, does need some work though

Vintage German made bike Too lunky also probably too small

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bik/5098307457.html Listing gone

Raleigh road bike 60cm Campagnolo It isn't all Campagnolo as the seller claims but if it fits might be a good deal.

His and hers pair of vintage bikes heavy and clunky, again may be too small, needs too much work for $175 ea.

The tall Raleigh may be the best deal. They all look like they need some work but I think this one may be the best quality and the best fit.



You could likely even turn around and sell the saddle for a quick $70 bucks. Some guys really swoon over broken in Brooks saddles.
This looks OK but again you can see that it needs a few things. Size may be iffy
