OK, its a second-hand shop! Its more common (nowadays) bikes go to charity-groups where unemployed get to... fix bikes for instance. In this case, they dont do 10-speeds so the surplus are sold as demolished metal junk (per kilo). In this sense, the charity-groups are more hell to bikes than Drews for instance.

As for now, I´m negotiating about the two bikes I want, but there are loads with older 10-speeds where at least the components would be a catch for a C&V rider! The OP shoulnt be so worried in comparison! (I prefer Upsala-Ekeby 50´s - 70´s porcelin...).
