Introduction

My Google search results kept sending me here so I thought I should just join, so here I am. Up in cold New England wiling away the cold winter and looking for a decent vintage 10 road bike. But before you start sending me links to $1600 bikes, I talking about the best US and Euro bikes that can be had for near-yard sale prices. Maybe I should just wait until spring and go yard saling, but the best I got right now is CL and FB Marketplace, so I'll end up paying a bit more for the same bikes.

So I've been looking at the mid-value bikes like early 80's Schwinn Voyageur, Raleigh Super Course, maybe Austro Daimler, although it's harder to ID which models of those. They all seem to be offered in the $200-300 range, less if I can find a true estate sale or yard sale find.

So I'll be asking questions and seeking info and catalog references on various models. Cheers!
