Nice looking Peloton for the long-legged, some wear. Decent price and free ship,

Champion of the Low End
Lemond Poprad Reynolds 853 Cross Frame and Fork, $250 in Otsego, MI. 55cm, a touch too small for me, which is probably for the best.

Regardless, it is a Peloton, so it's an absolute gem. '84 had the steeper HT geometry compared to the nearly identical at-a-glance 1985 model. The '84 shared basic geometry (via the catalog) with the Super Sport, but it was Columbus SL/SP vs. Tange Champion #2 (surprisingly heavy given its rank). HT/ST angles for my SS are an as-measured 74.3°/73.1° at the 25" frame size.
In today's excitement: It's a 1984 TEAM FUJI for $100! Seller claims to not be a bike guy but can't read a frickin' down tube with words printed on it??? But goes to the effort to find and list the serial number?!? People! Holy cow. It's been brifter-ized, which means it's been made to ride around, which is good that it's been used. Barring a major dent (it looks fine), beneath the modernity is a good old soul. I feel like this has been the one TF that has kicked around in the area for a few years, always for a killer price, and I keep missing or passing up the opportunity to take it in, restore it, and get it back on the road as proud as she was 33 years ago. Hot off the CL presses (less than a day)!

Well this bike is now in my garage. In great condition save only for some paint chips on the drive side of the top tube. Looks like it's been leaned a few times against a metal pole. The bike does not look like it's been ridden much. I'm sure it would gleam after some detailing.
Thank you all for the assist, especially @crank_addict, who has given me additional information outside of the forum. You guys are not good for my marital relationship.

WE have similar tastes, @RiddleOfSteel. I own an '85 Peloton that I absolutely adore, best riding bike in my fleet and the only one on which I'll run with tubulars. Incredibly light and agile. The bike I mean, wish I could say the same for myself.

...with the Lake Pepin 3-Speed Tour coming up, this would be a good mount. Looks like a replacement fork?

For just $250, you can have a classic short-coupled frame Schwinn Sprint! 36 lbs and a classic bottom bracket to love and cherish. It would be fun to see how much weight you could take out of it with modern stuff. I'd say if you could duck into the mid to upper 20s, the geometry is going to be sporty enough to be a surprise--find out what all that claimed Schwinn engineering could really do!
A cyclist after our own hearts, happened upon a tragically all-painted (pink in this case) 1983 Trek 400 and got her much better looking and roadworthy. For $120 it's hard to go wrong at all! The Mangalloy tubing is smooth-riding stuff and the real paint underneath actually looks to be in good shape, clearcoat included. It's got a lot going for it, IMO.

What size is yours? Mine is a 25" and even at that size there is no mushing around. She is the Queen of my fleet and will forever be adorned with Dura Ace. I flirt with the thought of switching from 9-speed (with brifters) back to 10-speed with down tube shifters. Even lighter weight, but a little flighty on crummy roads while reaching down to shift. Maybe some day.........
It's an incredibly nice ride.
