I picked up this Carabela for 10 bucks today. What I wanted was the crank arm dust caps but one of them is missing. Nevertheless, for $10 I got a decent SR crankset, some unbranded aluminum rims laced to Shimano hubs with QRs, a Gran Compe stem, Suntour V-GT Luxe RD, Compe-V FD, Suntour bar end shifters, Campagnolo short toe clips, and front and rear reflectors that can be seen from aircraft. Thinking about it driving home, I planned to stock the parts bin with the above items and toss the frame in the dumpster at the office. After getting out and looking at it, I think I may make a rider out of it if I can remove the rust and crust.
