Less than two years ago, I picked this up for cheap. I bought the bike through Kijiji, a website similar to Craigslist. It was the second vintage road bike that I ever saw listed in my area on such a website...


But things have changed - a lot. Just yesterday, all of these and more flood the Kijiji listings in Thunder Bay.

Near mint and little used Cyclops - $1500 CND (six times+ what I paid for the Marinoni)...


Excellent condition Magestic - $200 CND (found similar bikes at the dump)...


Masi, helmet and shoes was listed for $400 CND and then $500 CND the next day...


Peugeot $400 CND (found some just as nice at the dump)...


Raleigh entry level - $125 CND (usually find stuff like this at the dump)...


Tomasso in great shape, again little used - $500 CND...


Entry level Seking - $150 CND (got lots like this at the dump)..


To be up front, there are still deals, now and again. Bought this one a couple of weeks ago for less than a hundred. And, for what it is worth, not one vintage road bike has showed up at the dump (yet) but I did get a very nice almost new road bike saddle there a week ago...
