Yeah, please, send them along- crcj04... Google's mail.

There's more images to that folder than you can see in the little thumbs that load up top: there's an arrow for more on the right.

E:you're totally right, I found a red one, but it's DEFINITELY not NOS like yours is.

Gitane TDF, $15.00. Rough.

15 dolla no holla
nice pick up ftw

THAT is the epitome of awesomeness, Frank. Why can't the rest of us score deals like that anymore? What a great project!

Picked this up from a Craigslist ad. 1986 Schwinn Prelude. Columbus Tenax frame, Suntour Cyclone group, and San Marco leather saddle. Pretty decent condition. One of the better Schwinn from that period from what I am reading in other threads. May be a good keeper.

Thanks Marley, Auch,


I may have much more to report later today.. I was told of a local "pile o bikes" and may go to see it.

+100 Super score!

Dan, super score on that carbon Basso too! Listed under Sporting Goods = crazy...

Nice P/U on that Prelude. It's going to shine up pretty easy.

Fantastic !
I had one in that size , once .
Problem was , I'm not that size .
Great bike for riding .
One of the misunderestimated Schwinns .

A '77 or '78 Peugeot PR60, for $19.07. A PR10 in 'Gentlemen' guise. In dire need of some TLC. I don't come across these very often, and it's close enough to my size to ride it. As it's got all the racks, fenders and lights, and I want to get rid rid of the turkey levers anyway, I might fit this with a flat north road bar and put it into use it as an errand bike.

Yes it is. Great score! And my size too ...

Every now and then, I search both "bike" and "bicycle" in the entire for sale section of craiglsist. I've never had anything worth anything turn up until that basso. He was asking $300, wouldn't budge on initial offer, so I gave up on bargaining, but he did talk himself out of a nashbar magnetic trainer and some NOS cinelli cork tape for an extra $30.

I was happy, he was happy.

Only weirdnesses are the syncro for a 7 speed with a 6 speed FW out back and a loose right side shifter boss which is making the indexing all the worse. I can' figure out how to get the boss secure- it just slides, I can't remove it to get glue under it- I'll have to think of something (or make a thead asking for help).

I think they are underestimated also. I had a 1982 Le Tour that once I upgraded a few things it was a great ride. This is a higher level than that was. I need to replace a rear spoke, replace tires and the standard overhaul and it will be ready to go. The price was not bad at $80 either.

I finally found a Passage touring bike from 1987 in my size . Columbus steel, good geometry, smooth ride . My only bike right now .

not cv but I picked up a cool Klein at the sf bike expo, no my size though so I will be passing it on. If only it was a 55 insthead of a 58 :(
fell in love with the paint and did not pay enough attention to size.

suhweet - i am a sucker for that paint myself - nice p/u - interested in it if its fo sale

I went to the dump today to drop off some building rubble and picked this out of the metals skip.

It's a Terry Dolan Cougar. As far as I can research he's a frame-builder from Liverpool who makes quality frames which have been ridden by Chris Boardman and Greg Lemond in the 80s and 90s (sometimes re-badged).
It's very light, probably Columbus or 653. I can't decide whether to build it as an SS or geared

^that would make a fine 1X5 city type bike!

Moser Recovery
 

Not quite the dump but close. I picked this up at a swap meet for peanuts - planning to give it a light restore.

I think its a late '70s model running suntour cyclone, tubular campag wheels, campag shifters weinmann brakes. Some nice frame features - love the seat post and 3ttt stem

cmon - dont hold out on us...define peanuts...:)
nice bike btw

WOW!!!
Super sweet score!

I picked this beauty up off CL a couple weeks ago. I just happened to look at CL during the morning at work right after it popped up. Fortunately the seller was fairly close to my work. I was able to go on my lunch hour and get it before anyone else got to it. Other than the rack and the saddle, it appears to be all original. Other than 2 or 3 three rubs on the paint, it's in excellent condition. It should clean up nicely. I gladly handed the man his $99 asking price. Too bad I'm 6'-1" tall.

I've returned to the fold. At least attempting to start all over again bikes wise.

Today, I picked up a project bike that caught me eye. This $10 find is a 92(?) Alpinestars AL Mega DX mountain bike. It's an E-stay type frame.

It's full of paint dings, and isn't complete. A lot of the Deore DX components are swapped off. Missing a crank and pedals. It does have a later model XTR RD, Tektro V brake, and get this...a Magura hydraulic rear caliper brake! The bar and shifters are gone, replaced with Gripshifts. The wheels are Deore XT off a Trek something. But they are missing their skewers. But the hubs are smooth. A small dent to the rear rim though, hope to bend it out. No tires either, I'd like a pair of 1.5" mtb smoothies for the road.

I am contemplating how to refinish it. Whether to strip it and polish it up.....or repaint, or just clean it and ride it. Regardless, it's going to be good therapy for my troubled soul.

i'm down with the e-stay - love that aesthetic - enjoy your build up

I left one of these behind a couple weeks ago at the flea market for $80 bucks, just ask realstevin (His fault);)
