Bikes: '85 Woodrup Giro-Touring, 87 Centurion LeMans RS (2), 78 Centurion LeMans, 77 Centurion Super LeMans, 2001 Jamis Quest, 1970 Raleigh Grand Prix

Original purchase prices of $0 for the '78 Centurion and $15 for the '70 Raleigh Grand Prix. Both gas pipe frames but light and sturdy enough for commuting 5 days a week. After paint, steel wool, component tweaks, cables, bar tape, brake hoods, frame pump, lights, fenders. Maybe $100-150 each, but I would counsel not including most of that stuff in the final cost. More durable, universal accessories, like the fenders and racks can be moved from bike to bike.
