Less interesting, but perhaps more useful if pedaling inflated the tires.

but it has the coveted "ball tickler" seat rise - you can't get that just any place.

Photos I see of 3rensho track bikes look like some nice bikes. But, when discussing a full respray, one must question the overall condition of the bike. Especially for one living on a small island near the ocean.
What is a semi-shift?
And the "Fare offer"? Is that for the ferry?
It sounds like the owner isn't a bike person. "Any pics can be taken if specified. But no tech questions."
Get some photos, then make an offer. Make sure the seller knows a restoration and respray is no small endeavour.

Phoenix Craigs yesterday had some "new" listings, two new italian bikes, and a tandum. The italians were too big for me, but looked interesting.

Why install a flat bar for comfort then tilt the brake levers up like that? My fingers hurt just looking at this.

Original 1983 Trek 850, Reynolds 531 handmade lugged steel frame &fork
"The seat tube measures 27.0, but someone had a royal screw up and tried to hammer in a 27.2 seat post, resulting in the need to extend the cut in the sleeve to release the stuck post, there are no signs of any issues resulting from that, but it's the reason for the discount price on the frame."
Oh, ok - so it's totally safe to ride and you're charging full price (discounted) for the damaged frame. Cool.

Here's a bit of a reach, a "collectible" panasonic sport 500. No mention of the slight top tube bend....
"The Panasonic is a bit of a rarer frame, much more of a collectible than the Schwinn. although both are very much baseline products, missing rear brake"

$100 for two mostly complete bikes isn't bad.
That Panasonic has a pretty unique top tube shape. Perhaps a small frame with a "comfort" style headtube.
Bikes are okay, I guess.

It's the small frame, probably a 17" seat tube. That's how Panasonic did it back then.

I wonder if they would get more local interest if actually listed here in Eugene/Springfield.

Maybe the seller doesn't want people to just come and take it for a spin without any interest in buying it. At least those people willing to come 100+ miles to look at it may be INTERESTED.

In their defense, no matter when it was actually produced, it's not your typical commodity bike part. I don't think you can necessarily fault them for the high price.

Bob's Donuts is back with another But-Ful bike.... This time with a Surly 1x1 build. I wonder if he will ever learn how to spell beauty???
The Lemond I posted here several months ago is still for sale, having been relisted many times. Current
Surly 1x1 - $4995 (Eugene)
For a mountain bike, it doesn't look too bad. Single Speed? I just can't imagine a $5000 bike built on a $475 steel frame.
