Not really sure if it is much of a deal - probably priced on the high side of it's value - but I am no expert. 1987 Pinarello Montello. Still has original tires. If I had the room (and the money) I would be interested if that is a good price.

Here is a Fuji Finest 59cm from around 1980 - 249.00.

Well, I did. After I semi-trashed the ad, I, like Scott, couldn't stop thinking about that bike, and how long I've been looking for a really good Fujita Pro, and how my 1 size smaller Fuji America, while really clean, sometimes feels a little small. So I had some email exchange w/the seller, trying to beat him down on the price a little, but he was pretty firm, that this was was super nice, wasn't budging. Not arrogant or anything, actually nice, but obviously wasn't going to budge an inch & next stop was ebay if he didn't get the dough on local CL.

So eventually I fold like a cheap suit and said, ok, I'll buy it at your price w/the proviso that if there are any dents, etc, deal is off. Guy says sure. I get out there, this thing is glorious. It does have a 2d Cyclone FD, but everything else, including chain, is original, or at least original spec. And in super clean condition, no issues anywhere, w/vintage "Jim Blackburn" rack. Chain is hkk gold, like as in spec, I measure well less than 1/16" wear in 12 inches, rims/brake pads look pristine, heck, I'm shelling out $400 bux for this, and I'm not bedgrudging a nickel. Here is seller w/bike:



He's not a flipper or anything, we talked bikes for about an hour or two. Story was that he was in a cycle shop 11 years ago, lady walks in w/bike, asks the shop if they want to buy it since it was just taking up room in her apartment. Shop declined, and it was too small for him, but he knew it was a nice bike and saw the lady off w/75 or so. Takes it home, spins around the hood once in a while, keeps it in the basement for pretty.

Sounds like a story until he whips out his regular rider:



A Woodrup he had Proteus Cycles order for him back in the 80's. All Campy Super Record, looked like it came out of the paint booth yesterday. But the guy is clearly a rider on this & quite enthusiastic about talking about bikes, rides, routes and all. Then there was his wife's Bianchi I didn't get a shot of, again, all three of these bikes looking like somebody goes over them with Q-tips once a week.

Only the America was for sale because he finally got tired of his wife asking him why he was keeping a bike that was too small for him.

$400 is/was a lot, but I compare that with the elbow grease, parts scrounging, paint touch up, etc, I do on bikes, heck, even if I got them for free they end up costing me that much in time. This is really a zero issue bike completely that apparently hasn't been ridden enough to even half wear out a chain.

Seller told me he had several other people after me tell him they would come over today, pay full retail, that he told them to dog off unless I turned into a no show. I didn't get the impression that any of this was a BS, he clearly wasn't a seasoned bike sales guy, he started asking me all sorts of questions about his components stash box, what he should do to figure value on that stuff (Ebay, was my short answer). But he knew his Fuji was pristine and a fairly popular and higher-end model, so he wasn't going to give it away for the 175-250 generic 80's bike goes for on CL around here.

Me, I haven't seen a whole lot of used bikes in this good condition, so I've got no heartburn. FWIW, The Fujita pro saddle is perfect - no sit marks, no cracks, no pulling at rivets, and feels supple. Looks NOS.

So that is the rest of the story.

Great story Jay, it couldn't have found a better home!

Looks too big for me and I dont have time to flip it. I emailed the guy and asked about it. He says he got it from a friend a couple years ago and doesnt ride it. Knows nothing about it other than that it's a classic. He could get a lot more for it in the Toronto market. I saw one a month ago for $200

I had been mulling this over and decided due to the size I am going to pass on this piece of Dutch cycling history. I confered with sykerocker, an avid Magneet owner and fan, who confirmed the origonality of the bike. Campy Valentino equipped 25 in. frame. The owner seems like a nice guy, I've emailed him several times and he responds quickly.

Reply to: sale-kmfac-1665466338@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

I have for sale a 1988 Univega Gran Touring bike. This is an excellent full fledged loaded touring bike from the great age of touring bikes and is comparable to other great touring bikes, such as Miyata and Trek.. The bike has been stripped down to nubs, completely overhauled, rebuilt, and literally ready to hit the highway. In addition to being an excellent tourer, the bike could also serve well as a commuter or "old school" cyclocross/canal bike.
Frame: Triple butted Tange chromoly. 54cm seat tube, 54cm top tube. Full touring brazeons for loaded touring -- front and rear racks and fenders.
Drive Train: Shimano Deore. 48-38-28 treking crank. 14-32 6-speed Shimano freewheel.
Vittoria tires. Puncture resistant tubes.
Thanks for looking.

The Thin Man 

Ugh, not only is it my size, but I was just in Phoenix last month as well. I'm tempted to have my sister pick it up for me, although tear down/shipping would be some extra costs :-/

Gavush

man, you need to get. Get it for me. (not for me literally, but so I can have it vicariously through you) I'm not sure what it is but I really like how that thing looks... and my next bike (if I ever get another...) that's for me, is supposed to be a touring rig so I can do the natchez trace parkway someday (north end is 18 miles from my driveway)

The Thin Man 

I like the look as well. Gorgeous.
I may do a little research on the cost of tear down and packaging as I do know a good shop within the area my sister lives. This is not the toy my finances are asking for right now!

Maddox

I live in Phoenix, too, and had seen the bike - but it's not in my size.

If you guys need help packing or whatever, I'd be happy to help out.

Gavush

Is it a beauty?

The Thin Man 

You guys are making it too easy for me!
Thank you for the offer, however, although this bike is beautiful, and my size, I believe I should save the purchase and 'all hands on deck' help for a bike that I know I am going to ride and keep forever. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for my dream bike (Merckx, Colnago, Cinelli, CIOCC, Tommansini or Hetchins, and a few others that could make the cut), although, there is that CIOCC that I'm so gaga for in San Fransisco...

.Jared

I really want to drive to SD to pick this up for the girl....

Sorry! -- I meant I'd been watching it on Craigslist. Haven't seen the bike in person.

But, the guy selling the Univega has sold quite a few resto projects (he always photographs his bikes in the same spot), and the bikes are always nicely done.

Maddox

Ebay is hilarious sometimes.

This bike currently on the bay, mislabeled as a "VERY RARE LIGHTWEIGHT 1953 ENGLISH RACER."

It's strange that the headbadge - which reads "Campione Del Mundo; Frejus of Torino" - didn't tip the seller off that it's not English in the least.

It looks like a 53-54cm Frejus race bike which has been converted to a city singlespeed. Basing that on four things:
(1) the geometry looks racy, as does the skinny chromed fork
(2) there's a vacant RD hanger on that driveside rear dropout
(3) my eyes could be tricking me, but those tires look like 700cc to me...and those hubs look like high-flange Campy road hubs (maybe track?)
(4) that headset - Campagnolo (NR?)

But I don't know, maybe it's just a Frejus city bike with a couple odd parts and a sweet cottered crank. And while I don't know how much it's worth (there are still 4 days left in the auction), I'm positive it's worth more than it's going for right now.

Anyone have any idea what this crank is?

The Thin Man 

Ha! "CL"
I should reply telling him that it's an official Craigslist crank!
