Yeah, $35 would be about right, $350 would be too much even if it was still in the unopened factory box. The prices people put on old Grand Prixs are insane! I've been trying to find one for several years in my size, which this one is, for nostalgic reasons but refuse to pay the ridiculous prices. Had to "settle" for a pretty nice '85 Prestige to satisfy my Raleigh nostalgia. Still passively looking for a red 24.5 inch '71 Irish built Grand Prix frame though..........

Took the parts off a nice Grand Prix for my Dawes and don't figure it's even worth scrounging parts to build it back up to sell. Cost more to put wheels on it than it's worth.

Uh, the one's enough, thanks.

*Slight NSFW warning*

$300 for a "badass" Schwinn Typhoon is already kinda wacky. Then I saw the tackiest and most extraneous feature I've seen on CL for a while.

Anyone care to venture a guess as to what bike was ruined for this "restoration?" Aside from the immensely flattering photos, I see truncated cantilever bosses, an extremely long rear center (check out that chainstay length!), vertical rear dropouts that almost certainly preclude the ability to get proper fixie chain tension unless he experiments with chainring/cog sizes, etc. The way the chainstays bow behind the bridge make me think he actually used an '80s MTB like a Sierra or something similar.

At least this one is not a "restored fixie" but what the hell was s/he thinking?

RE: VINTAGE 3 SPEED MEN'S CRESENT is bent





Caveat emptor. Okay, I didn't say anything when this bike was for sale months ago for $300, but the frame was bent then and it's bent now. Look at the profile photo and you can see the front wheel tucked back near the down tube. The top tube should be parallel to the ground but is raised at the front due the now-vertical inclination of the fork and head tube. In the shifter photo if you look past the handlebar you can see the chipped/cracked orange paint on top of the two frame lugs behind the head tube, a sure indicator of bent tubes resulting from a head-on impact. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, folks, but this otherwise nice little bike is badly damaged.

A new price benchmark for a Breeze! "I seen one on the internet and their gettin' $1000 for it!"

bikecrate

"scwine"?? Perhaps the most butchered spelling of Schwinn yet.

I couldn't help it anymore and I just had to put the seller in their place. So I wrote them a nice little note. Let's see if they change anything.

ecnewell 

It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like those might be 650c wheels, which could also explain why the bike only has <20 miles on it - it's an experiment gone wrong. (I should know, I've done that experiment.)

CliffordK

It does look like short horizontal dropouts, but it would benefit from a half link, or possibly removing a full double link.

80's MTB frame for the rear, + Road Fork, probably 700c wheels.

The builder/seller sure didn't spare a lot of excess brake cable & housing. Brake rub?

Just your average bottom-of-the-line Raleigh ten-speed recently tricked out and now being sold for half a large. Lotsa pix, lots to admire.

•Brand new Velo brakes and cables
•Brand new Planet Bike Eco bike rack
•Brand new Planet Bike Cork Grips
•Brand new Tourbon Waxed Canvas saddle bag

I still have the original road bike handlebars and brakes which you can have.

Thanks for looking.
