Not a bike - but, Rigida 700c wheelset with Normandy Luxe Competition hubs for $5 ain't bad. These will be my new gravel wheels so I can move the Helicomatic back to normal road use.

^Those hubs should last indefinitely as long as you re-pack them once a year, assuming they're in good condition as bought. Nice catch!

Love that computer. I wonder how long it took Cateye to realize a sensor doesn't have to be a giant disc, it can be a little pod clamped to a pair of spokes.

^^^I know they did it for a lot of their bikes, but I never understood the whole dropouts being behind the rear triangle thing.

A lady advertised some bikes owned by her late father. I missed a possibly nice Trek (she couldn't remember the model - her mother gave it away) and a Peugeot mixte. This Fuji Royale was left, so it came home with me. Here are some photos after a quick wash and removal of some accessories (anyone want a Radio Shack AM bike radio?).

Grabbed this last week for free. I know its not especially valuable or collectable, but I like it. Despite being much to small for me, its a pretty nice ride, shifts great. So tonight I spent a few hours and cleaned it up a little, and it's probably going up for sale. If only it was a little smaller I'd keep it for my fiance, instead of the heavy suburban I found for her. It has some nice looking weinmann brake levers and newer bar tape. The bars were flipped around and the brake levers installed backwards in a weird attempt to make it rideable for someone much smaller, I moved all that back to the correct place.

My wife ganked me a 1989 Raleigh Technium Frenzy for $35 the other day. It's not my size, been left outside for a long time, but generally complete and rebuildable.

This trek popped up on Craigslist for $25. Once I got it, it was in a little worse shape than I thought. Luckily I had the needed parts on hand. The only thing I had to order was a new seatpost. $12 off ebay.

I know we love the awesome C+v finds, but often times these can be such a money maker.

I love the color scheme on these old peugeots. Looks like it's in nice shape, too. New tape, new hoods and you're done!

Picked up this filthy old fat-tuber today from PO Andy in exchange for a Benji. I've wanted one of these since I started researching touring bikes. Owner said it's a 1990; I'll will have to do some serial # research to find out.
Nice Brooks Professional included at no extra charge is the icing on the cake, here!

I know! This was advertised along with a Miyata 1000 ($50) both described as having "Many upgrades over the years."
Despite the "upgrades," the Miyata was a pretty good deal, too.
