Marinoni for only $10,000 Canadian or (today's rate) 8008 US
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-road-bike/ha...ationFlag=true
Please note: No description of this bike in the advertisement. Looks like a new frame with some really old rough 105 components.
Marinoni Road Bicycle
Montreal, Quebec bicycle manufacturer since 1974
Giuseppi Marinoni is legendary in the Canadian bicycle world, known for the fine steel frames from his shop in Montreal that have borne his name over the past four decades. More recently, he made the news for setting a new hour record for his age group (75-plus), in the Fall of 2012. However, very few of us have actually had a chance to know the man himself. This has now been rectified with the recent release of the documentary Marinoni: The Fire in the Frame, at the HotDocs Festival in Toronto.
Check out this LINK to learn more about Marinoni & his legendary Bicycles..Hope you enjoy

So propping an ailing bike against one's garbage cans is an advertising faux pas?

The misuse of "break" for "brake" is so common that it will likely become the accepted norm. Just another sign of the decline of civilization.
