Looks to be a pretty clean Centurion Semi Pro. Price isn't such a deal, but seems like FMV.

This is a great looking Cinelli Supercorsa in NYC for a great price, $600. To me it looks bigger than a 56...?

It looks like the front fork is original to the frame but has had it's paint removed, the chrome on the fork looks rough compared to the chrome on the rear stays....
Senior Member
He stated that the forks are raw, so somebody stripped the paint for some reason. They probably thought they were polished chrome underneath.

The crankset and the rear derailleur on the yellow Merckx look like my C Record. Somebody here should really check that one out. The wheels alone, if C Record in good condition, would be worth the asking price.

You can't go wrong. I have a Merckx Professional. SL tubing. Rides gloriously. And this one is Dura Ace7400 to boot.

Those are all great deals...the best deal is the one that fits.
In terms of flipper potential, the best deal is the one with ergos/c-record. I would hope we're talking about best deal to buy though.

Trek 400
Looks decent for someone shorter than me. It needs bar tape and the cables are a bit long for my tastes. Is there a good reason to swap the large and small rings like that?

Also, can you give me pointers on the best way to post a link here, so it'll include the pictures and all? I assume it doesn't involve pasting a link for each individual picture, but maybe I'm wrong...

Cheap single-speed
https://worcester.craigslist.org/bik...242992497.html
1970s Fuji Special Tourer - $80 (Worcester)

1970s Fuji. 53-54cm frame. Found it in rough shape ten years ago and I stripped off some rusty components to make it single speed (not fixed gear), gave it a new saddle and made it lighter with some 27" aluminum wheels. It has some small scratches/rust marks and the front wheel brake is very loose but it definitely looks cool and makes a great knock-around bike.

The stem shifters make me think this could also be a Sport-Ten. Possibly the "diamond blue" color from 1984. See p. 17: Miyata Bicycle Catalogs: Miyata Catalog 1984
