The seller is asking WAAAAAAAAY too much for this Allez but, wow, it is a really great looking bike. I've always wanted one of these, such a classic!

Champion of the Low End
Bianchi Volpe in Crown Point, Indiana — $100. If only it were a larger frame, I'd snap it up.

Peugeot Road Bike in Lincoln Square, Chicago $75, posted 4 hours ago
Peugeot Road Bike - $75 (Lincoln Square)

$75. Older Peugeot 12 speed road bike. Front wheel is newish, cables are new. There's a bit of superficial rust. The spokes of the rear wheel are kind of rusty too. Brake levers are not attached to the handlebars -- just dangling on the ends of the cabels, so they'll need to be re-attached. Everything else is fine for being an older bike.

Triumph (Raleigh) Gran Course
If I were in Florida, I'd be tempted: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/auction...-37416652.html. These are not that common, but the Gran Course is a great frame... as others here can confirm. I'm quite fond of mine.

Centurion Turbo, Tange 1 with full Shimano 600, 56cm, Phoenix AZ $250
Bike looks pretty sexy in red/silver... Listing is 2 months old which seems pretty unbelievable at this price, so maybe a zombie ad? Dunno, but I sure wish the IRS had been kinder to me this year.

+1 for the Bottecchia. Needs a little TLC but everything hits sexy Italian. Bonus for components but that aside, pretty cool it has the old headbadge riveted type and its an 80th anniversary ed. Mighty fine for that money.

That's some fine hand-built tooling. Bring a forklift: That 6" thick alignment table has got to be close to 5,000 pounds.

I can't make out what it says on the top tube - Specialissima? - but this looks nice with the lugs, pantographing, etc.

I've seen this Schwinn Prologue listed several times over the past 4-5 months on eBay - listing says '85 but has to be an '87 or '88. For some reason the seller has yet to move it - I'm not clear on appropriate value for these and the shipping is steeper outside of the Northeast states. I noticed it last year before I found an '85 Peloton I fell in love with. Sent the seller a note asking for pics of the left side - said he would on the next round but those never materialized, probably decided I was a time-waster. Rims are well-worn.
