Boy it's a good thing I don't live in Boston or I'd probably be buying this!

The seller mislabels the bike (got the year right), a 1983 Trek 630 in good shape for just $300. Certainly a solid buy. The small frame size will be great for someone.

Bridgestone RB1 - $300 (Chesterfield)

https://images.craigslist.org/00o0o_...f_1200x900.jpg

make / manufacturer: Bridgestone
model name / number: RB1

Bridgestone RB1 in good shape. Tires are two years old, shifts like a dream. Steel is real, and this bike will make for a happy rider. It's a large frame, I've got an extended seat post as I'm 6'8" but this bike could easily fit riders in the 6' range as well.

Tall bike day in town.

OMG They are so beautiful!!! That Magnum Opus is just dreamy. I should buy one but I am still holding out for Hellenic Mixte

I really want this maybe selling the bottle and holder would make it reasonable.

For sale is a blue Bianchi Advantage men's 18 speed hybrid bike in beautiful original condition.Stored many years.Bike was lightly used and well maintained.Must be seen. Aluminum Araya quick release rims.Shimano thumb shifters and derailleurs; center pull brakes,original saddle and tires.20 inch frame.Campagnolo water bottle and holder. Rides ,brakes,and shifts great.A higher end, quality ride at a bargain price.Fine example of an early hybrid. Don't miss it!!!!

Newer frame with vintage components? Is that normal practice on contemporary vintage style bikes? I guess it would look so wrong with current components.

^^ That bottle is a little much on that cruiser. That is the original hybrid! Well not counting the Volpe. Bianchi got the drop on the industry, even Ben Lawee, and had 700c hybrids in '89 most of the rest fell over themselves to have 3 or 4 by '90

I am not sure but you see a lot of that C-Rec on Hetchins of all years. Personally if I ever get another one it will be al Chorus, assuming I can find nice enough stuff, from '88-90


But yeah all black 11 speed would look heinous on that frame

Just curious, why Chorus?

Dare to dream. I'll leave their beauty to others to debate, but the pricing is absurd for what's being offered...most particularly on the first one. 7k? For a mid-80s Hetchins? Have fun with that.

None of these are, IMO, particularly desirable examples of the brand.

The Magnum is listed as 2010 so it is even newer than the one I had.

That looks like my beloved Alyeska, but much, much bigger. The Alyeska came with black foam grips. I've broken the weld at the top of the right-side seat stay twice, but I'm not sure that points to a weak point on all Alyeskas.

Sheesh. You can get a new Hetchins Magnum Opus built today for under 2k. To your spec.

Right? I'm not sure I could bring myself to actually ride it! I don't own any wall-hangers, so this bike would be too much for me, personally. But definitely nice to look at.
