Awesome score! I think the frame alone is worth the price, even without everything else! I think people usually ride a size smaller in Lemonds, so it should be perfect for you. Looking forward to some pics!

I just got this for free, along with a pink Huffy 'New World'. Its a Fuji Del Rey, and I think it is about a 1985 vintage? Its been collecting dust(and rust) for a lot of years, but it's all there. The components seem to be original.. or at least period correct. It seems to be a pretty decent built bike.

It needs some help, but I think it is worth saving. I cant believe how light it is, compared to my Multi-Track 720 and my MTB.

It's a couple of...few sizes too small for me, so I'll probably clean it up and try to turn it into a 62-64cm old road bike that I can ride

Got this CCM 3 speed today, bad pic, it's missing bars leavers for brakes and rear brake is wrong I think, it's got a weird shifting system though.
ANd it's got lovely BFD

Don't know what you mean by BFD, but that's fork's bent. Unless that pic is just weird.

The Wrights saddle on my 1964 Dawes looked at least that bad. I soaked it overnight in a big ziploc bag half-full of Lexol (you can get it at feed stores and places that cater to horsey types), wiped it dry, it and came back to life like you wouldn't believe--you'd never know it hadn't been babied its whole life. Try it--you'll be amazed, and nothing is easier.

BFD means Bent fork disorder. so yeah it's bent.

No way. That this is BENT. And that is quite an odd shifter.

been MIA lately...
 

...but, here are my latest finds. hope everyone is doing well! cheers. :p 1) schwinn prelude, 2) puegeot, 3) univega gran turismo, 4) parkpre 925r, 5) centurion ironman, 6) my updated univega gran premio (single-speed).

Here's three bikes that were heading for the dump. The Gran Rally (light blue) originally had sew-ups, but the rims were destroyed. The Centurion was sold on C-list, the Viscount (red) is listed but being ridden while I can. The Univega Gran Rally is now a 16 speed with Mavic rims & Ultrega hubs. Just might end up keeping it. These bikes remind me how good an old classic 10 speed can be. The Gran Rally is in a different class. Full Shimano 600. .http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164008http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164004http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=164005

Our CL here in STL is a pretty good one. Just barely not enough of a bike town that bike prices arent crazy high, but there are plenty of them to choose from. PLus you can almost name you price when you re-sell something

In the past few months I have bought and sold :

Klein Custom - Bought for $45, sold for $400

Schwinn Paramount Series 7 - $115 sold for $285

Nishiki Prestige Proportional - $50 sold for $225

Trek 412 - Bought for $50 - Sold for $150

Centurion Sports Dlx - Bought for $80 sold for $150

I am currently riding this, Its to nice to flip and I bought it for $65

You have my vote for keeping that Gran Rally!

If I were you I'd ride that some more and forget about selling it.

Boy, they sure put that maintenance handbook to good use huh? Lets see... Step one, extend seat post. Step two never clean your bike.

That GB stem is *****in, I like the cable stop on it.

Nothing fancy. I found this Schwinn world today at a rummage sale, the handlebars are what attracted me to it. It's a bit dirty but otherwise in fantastic condition. I think I can make a quick and cheap flip out of it. There was a much cooler GT there that I wanted for myself, the price was good but I couldn't justify it.

With a little TLC this can be a really nice bike for someone looking to start riding again. I doubt that the bars are original but I think they are perfect for it.

Surprisingly all the bearings and races are in fine shape, it was well cared for up to a point then left to deteriorate. I think it is going to clean up pretty well after the oxalic soak and a lot of polishing of aluminum bits.

Heres a slightly better picture of that CCM.

Sounds like a good situation. That's a 1988 Ironman Master. Very nice bike.

I just picked this one up....same year and model....these are the "before" pics for sure....

Replace the fork, put some ape hangers on it and and car gearshift knob on and make a rat rod out of it.

I'd ride it, too. I will be kicking myself for a while until another one pops up in my size. BAH! Looks clean.

I love my 86

I think the fork may be saved. It's more bendable and could be straightened. Make a jig out of wood, and realign the fork blades. The bend appears to be after the crown.
That's a cool CCM crank!

That crank and gear system is weird, one arm has alot of play in it and it's tight, the single is a triangle shape lol. and shifter wont shift into high gear. I plan on fixing the forks and trying to bring the bike make to normal, I believe it was Red and Gold or Green and gold , it's been repainted a few times.

It is a great bike. Im just working out a few kinks.

There are a few chips that have minimal rust on the bottom side of the top tube. other than that, it had been in a shed for 16 or so years so it was just dirty.

Picked this at the Mill Valley Swap for $5...

But Found this recently to go with it, Elite RS Centurion. Fork is tweeked, but every thing else seems straight.

WNG, how can one make a fork jig? I'd like to. Refer me to something online, or I can start a new thread or something.
