Here's something interesting: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PEUGEOT-TRIA...item2324c06ade
Apparently, the guy has a time machine. He bought an '87 or so Peugeot Triathlon and took it back to the future of 1976/7! Amazing facts, here on Ebay...

never trust a seller to accurately date or describe their bike.. my 1989 Apex was listed as a 1994 lol.. the last two bikes i've bought i knew more about the bikes than the seller

this Is an interesting old listing-
study carefully the plumbing,
I think the motor in the rear wheel makes the energy, and drives the front wheel, there is an accumulator ,
note some hoses are dis connected, I cant quite figure it out...

1947 Vintage Schwinn Colegiate, ALL ORINGINAL! This bike was taken care of! Hurry And Call Oscar Before This Classic Is Gone, (303)324-0211 Thank you.
This one is a true classic of CL wackness. The poster managed to get every bit of information wrong with typical bad add copy. Looking at the pics I'm not even sure it is a Collegiate.

^The shwinn also looks relatively new. I'd have to say that its a bike-boom model. Not worth much more than $100, if actually mint and original, IMO.

Hmmm. If that was mine I wouldn't sell it for less than $250. Looks to be in nice shape, OG tires and all. Podunk town location probably doesn't help seller, though.
Actually if that was mine I probably wouldn't sell it for less than $400, but I LOVE 90s MTBs.
