Bikes: I can count 'em on one hand

N+1, or GET IN MY BIKE SHED!

Not really a grail bike thing, but just a selection of bikes I wouldn't mind owning, based on current/recent ebay listings.

The rules:
1) Must be either a current or recent (within a month) ebay or craigslist listing
2) Must be within 2cm +/- of your size (I am 58cm, so my range is 56-60cm)
3) Must be 10 bikes or less

Go!

If something along these lines were to pop-up, I would have a hard time not pursuing. Though I'm sort of trying to reduce right now.....


Bob Gordon
Greg Diamond
Confente (well not really as my budget is about 10% of what these are trading for)
or any other California maker in a 57-60 cm range

After considering the options, I went with Flickr. Photobucket is awful.

I've stared longingly at that Allegro Special, too. That is one neat bike! Alas, it falls outside of rule #2 for me.

Bikes: 1987 Centurion Ironman Master, 1992 Koga Miyata Exerciser, 1992 Schwinn Crosscut

The blue Koga Miyata is gorgeous, but has a brake cable forward of the bars.
The red Moser and blue Legnano have both cables forward of the bars.

Not that that would deter me, obviously!

Good eye. Now that you mention it, the orange Motobecane does too. And the Koga-Miyata has one cable forward of the bars. But yes, these things are entirely fixable!

It's amusing how bad the cables are on lots of those bikes, in front of the bars or not.

That Zeus is a beauty. As is the Rochet.
