Picked up another Raliegh Grand Prix mixte, this one for $5.

All it needed was a new front tire, bar tape, and a thorough cleaning/polishing. Rides nice, and even has a nice Cal Clipper sprung comfort saddle. The best part was the like-new Mavic MA2 27" wheelset with QR skewers fore and aft that was on it. I pulled those and will reserve them for another, upcoming project.
