Free swap spots... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bid/5841305899.html

Do they have this on a regular basis and is it always in the East Bay?
Thanks

curbtender

It was once one of the better swaps, but the spaces went up to $50 and people stopped selling. Free spots should bring out a few more people...they advertised a little late. At least the weather looks good. They also have the Trailhead swap in San Jose. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bop/5833922639.html

Not a fixed guy but this is an actual track/Pista bike at least, and a Team Miyata no less. Would think about it if was my size.

Awesome. Thanks for the info! Sounds like the Trailhead will be more convenient for me.

It's probably also related to the word 'paschal', which is something related to Easter or Passover (e.g. the paschal lamb).

More interesting than anything: Power Cam cranks. (Houdaille with Suntour dropouts, $240.)

@RichSPK:

You are right, I was largely paraphrasing this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascoe

Yes, it's in that vein, one may read it for oneself, the explanation is actually a bit wordy.

Nice frame and original paint or not, it is a horrible yellow mottled, looking jobee in my book.

The paint's tired but the price is fresh.

Panasonic DX 4000 - $99 (union, NJ)

Any facilitators? I'm not due in NJ for 30 days.

Anybody remember the fleeting Houdaille reference in American Flyers?

Being both impulsive and dimwitted, I jumped in the car this morning and drove 400+ miles roundtrip to get this Lotus. Even though I posted it this week hoping someone would take away the temptation and get it before I could, this happened. It fits perfectly and amazingly, after only raising the seat and inflating the tires which seem passable to keep on it, it rides fantastic. But, do me a favor next time guys!

Tip of the hat, that is being a real trooper.

And a very fine bike, I hope it brings a lot of enjoyment.

Looks like it would be slightly to big for me, I'd say about a 34" stand over.

PilotFishBob 

Well done sir! 400 miles - if not well spent, could certainly have been spent much worse!

rekmeyata

It would have been a real bummer had you gotten there and the guy sold it to someone else who got there before you!

rekmeyata

Dang, I like all of that chrome

AngryFrankie

Yes it would have. I had a pretty good communication with the guy before I left. After meeting him, I know that would never have happened. But yes, sometimes you want to consider that possibility. People use another sales listing site locally, besides CL, and I have found it to be a whole different pool to swim in. I keep telling myself I'll never use it again, but then the sickness takes over....

rekmeyata

There was a guy on this forum about a year ago that had great communication with a seller, told him to hold the bike till he got there in about 2 hours, the seller said no problem the bike was his, but when he got there the seller had sold it to someone else. Needless to say the potential buyer was none too pleased. I bought the 84 Fuji Club with only 5 miles on it for $80 at a garage sale, another buyer wanted it and left to go to the ATM to get the cash, but I had the cash so I bought it, he left no deposit to hold it so the seller took my money since I was there with the cash first.

Fascinating, I had to look that up.

Power Cam main

Sort of like Bio Pace. Would be interesting to ride, no doubt.

20 LB appears original down to the Cinelli saddle and bars, can't see much. Campagnolo drivetrain, brakes too?

Shimano 105 brake hoods can be hard to find and pricey. Here's a complete nice set of used brake levers with good looking hoods for sale. Shipping from Europe is costly (~$19.50 USD) but BIN price (~$12.20/10 GBP) is reasonable.

Weird is a better adjective. It feels like it "slips" at a point in each foot's rotation, to get you past the unproductive portion of the pedal stroke. Very disconcerting. It is also geared higher, as I recall, having rings like 45/55 when most bikes had 42/52.
