Found this for sale in the local Clist, a Fuji Opus IV. I don't think I got the best deal as the seller was firm on $100, but maybe it's not too bad. A real cornucopia of decent stuff: Superbe Pro cranks, Cyclone rear and Campy front derailleur, Modolo International brakes, Specialized stem, Modolo bars, 600 aero levers, (broken) Modolo shifters, Deore XT headset, Mavic tubeless rims laced to Dura Ace front, Bullseye rear with New Winner freewheel. Aside from the broken shifters, faded anodizing on the brakes, and a seriously indexed headset it seems to be in decent shape. The seller said he'd let me know if he found the stem and saddle. He said he bought it in '91. I should have asked if he was the one swapping in the parts. If it all still looks promising after a closer inspection I'll start a build thread. The lugwork is pretty elegant and understated.

My catch yesterday: $35 for this Planet Bike S1200. My first repair stand,finally. Sticker bombed today. lol
Really sturdy and yet light.

...And life just got a LOT easier. Congrats.

Thanks. It most definitely did!

Saw that here, shared with local forum, sold 10 or so stands for Aldi, including mine. Decent stand.

They were down to $15.00 at my store.
I bought one that I really did not need.

Not bad for the full price and sweeter at half.

Thinking about converting it to a bench top mount.

I found an old KHS Gran Sport leaning against a trash can in my alley. 70's vintage judging by the "safety levers" on the Dia Compe brakes. 58cm frame with Suntour Honor RD and Suntour thru out. Everything soft was a goner, seat, tires, and funky cloth bar wrap. Was a fun project to clean and recondition the "perfect" freewheel was a little sticky but a shot of lube and it was spinning like a champ. A lot of cleaning this bike was most likely teen owned back in the day and ridden hard and put away wet. All loose ball bearings in the headset and bottom bracket the headset made for a nice game of hide and seek! Not showroom or anything like that but I'm happy how in turned out.

Turned out really nice.

A couple of Avocet saddles, A GF saddle, and a Zefal HP all for $20 today.

Bought this from local CL for $40. Drivetrain works fine. Will clean it very good.
Aluminum frame. Carbon fork. Alex rims.

Gitane from what looks like the early 1970s. I've always thought these looked cool and was surprised to find out that they are quite light. I expected a 30 lb bike or so. Pics are as found. Free from CL from someone that was moving. Tires are flat, chain was off, fork is tweaked, but I do love the 70s styling. The big ring on the crank is bent.

I'm not sure what model this is. Fork says Route de France. I don't see that as a model.

wow!

Congrats! I'm looking for one myself.

[MENTION=460171]Shrevvy[/MENTION], I think that frame might be bent.

I think it's the European market version of the Interclub.

Thanks Renn! I see a few almost everyday on CL but mostly on my side of the Bay.

So I finally have something to post here. My DH saved two bikes today and I know almost nothing about them. One is a grand champion 3 speed and the other is mystery. I'm most interested in the big loose cruiser

That is such a cool head badge! The blur cruiser from Germany would make a comfortable ride.

Where do you see it bent? Maybe I'll keep the frame as wall art.

In your close-up photo, the downtube is visibly bowed.

I saw that and thought it was the fork that was bent. I'll take a look at it again.

Should be some cool projects there! Congrats Renn!

I was able to get some of the grime off both bikes. The step through is a 1957 schwinn, I'm guessing a starlet from the coaster brakes. It's the 26 in rim version. The 3 speed Grand Champion cleaned up better then the schwinn. Both frames are for smaller people. I'll probably just flog them off on CL. I'm starting to get close to bike saturation.

Welcome to our obsession, [MENTION=459640]Renngrrl[/MENTION].
