Picked up this Campy frame of CL for FREE! Just costed me $30* and a drive out to the desert to pick it up. Going to flat black it and make a sweet single speed.

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
(1991?) Diamondback Centurion TG Expert, supposedly the direct descendant of the Iron Man, as Centurion was morphing into the Diamondback brand. Anyway, just under 24 lbs, very few miles, and a nice catch at $50. All Shimano RX100, not 105.
I love buying bikes in the wealthier neighborhoods, "What's a nice old road bike worth?" "I dunno, list it in the paper for $50, I guess." Their garage also had a nice supply of heavy-looking 'comfort bikes' looking fresh off the Costco showroom floor.

My buddy was clearing out his parents shed and behind the shed in his yard. He found 2 bikes. 1 yellow Kia which needs lots of work. And this 1979 Nishiki Century which needed some TLC and new parts.
Here it is before (actually the picture doesn't let you see how messed up everything is) It needed all new cables, housing, handlebar tape, wheels, tires, chain, rear freewheel (cassette) pedals and will get a new seatpost and seat at some point.
And here it is now. (without the new seat/post) All built up for my friends 12 year old son. I just did like 2-3 miles on it myself and it rode really nice considering Im used to my carbon rides.

$100:

Serial pointed to it being a 21" 1980 Trek 610. Too small for me, and already had a buyer, so I hope he's happy with the 531 frame. Swapped out the Derailleurs, headset, nitto stem and tires and sold it for $150 the next day.
A true jewel (wow is this thing pretty, NO idea what I'm going to do with it. Might just look at it for a while. Paperweight?):

Wins all around. You made a few bucks, got some nice parts and the current owner got a good deal on a nice bike.
