That bike's been kicking around on Hartford Craigslist for around 2 years.

Trek 600, $70. Birmingham Alabama CL.
https://bham.craigslist.org/bik/5519855439.html

The seller may be confused and says something about it being model 530 when it is made with Reynolds 531. If one looks in most places, this is at least $150, $200 under priced if not quite a lot more.
So, if one lives in that area, perhaps something to check on, a bit of a steal.

[h=2]Nishiki Olympic 12 road bike - $60 (green bay, WI)[/h]Nishiki Olympic 12 road bike


I'm not sure what year it is, but this bike is in great condition with very nice paint. It does need new tubes and tires, but ready to ride after that. Lightweight. All original. Stand over height is around 30".

This has been on Boston's Craigslist for a while. No bites.
Those have to be the Hutchinson grips found on some of the early '80s Motobecanes; this is nice; it's a work of art and I guess it operates
... but honestly, that's what the ad says, it was part of an exhibition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------




$550, really, for such a one of a kind bike, if one could close the sale for that amount really doesn't seem so bad and this is handsome. Someone might grab this one fast so I thought I'd post it and all photos.

Looks like it has the Carlton white brake hoods which is always a nice extra.

2 bikes:
2 classics for $50; the Raleigh is tall and I can't tell what it is, a Record? Raleigh USA? looks like downtube shifters and an old school waterbottle holder, this Peugeot looks like one of your typical Carbolite jobs but with fenders and dynamo. I know, a lot of people misspell Peugeot frequently. Probably some repair would be needed but decent if they are not in bad shape. Good for a college student.
