Get it while it's hot: Litespeed fo sale...
"Carbon fork, Easton 650c wheels and tires like new. 13 pounds.... Chain tension-er, Titanium stem, flat bar, cranks...53cm top bar."
Only $375
Despite the low price I doubt it's stolen, Hillcrest is that sort of area where someone with money would buy something for looks and sell it at a massive loss.
Also, are those titanium cranks?
https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/...363860842.html
Also I promise never to post a modern carbon fibre bike here ever again but I have to just this once. Don't run me out of town please!
Specialized Roubaix, 56cm, barely used, 10 speed 105/ultegra, $725

Cristobal anyone? Near as I can tell it have Victory or maybe Triomphe brakes. $1000 is likely a little much for it though. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/...346493541.html

28" tall frame. You should have been working in shops in the early '80s. It was a craze among a certain segment of the populace to buy the largest frame available, get whitewall tires and shorty fenders, then slam the seat and have to push the bike around because they were guys who should have had much shorter frames and could not ride the ones they had bought. We sold dozens of Puch Pathfinders and Fuji Gran Tourers and Royales in 27", and the aforementioned Panasonics in 28". There was even one dealer in town who advertised a certain S-branded bike as "the TALLEST" because the little stub of seat tube extended about 1/4" higher than then brands we sold.
This same demographic later moved on to installing elaborate roof rack setups on their vehicles with no bicycle ever in evidence.
Incidentally, Panasonic only made the 28" in the DX-2000, but made 27" in a couple of the lower-line Sport models. The DX was a better bike with all alloy components and, I believe, better tubing in the frame.

And another bike question: Why did they ever stop making FD's this way? They seem so simple; just pretend you're reaching for your water bottle. Seriously, this better be a collector's item because $400 is lunacy otherwise.

Motobecane Grand jubilee with Japanese parts (cyclone).
"Dimensions: From the crank to the top of the seat post is 24 in . Top tube from the seat post to the handle bar post is 23 in.
Asking $150"
Sounds like they're ready to haggle just to offload this bike. I dunno why it hasn't sold, I've seen it up there for a while.

@toavii -- Nice! One of my favorite things around here is seeing someone score a bike because somebody else posted it in this thread.

Above - many great picks, especially the Viner. That'll sort out nicely.
Project potential for Motobecane Team Champion / Campy, issues with wheelset. Usually see these for double and those not quite choice condition. BID sitting at $600 (Mil, WI)

Yeah sadly when I looked at it the 4th or 5th I started realizing it may be a homemade big POS right down to claw mounted RD on the stamped dropouts

Co-Motion Espresso road bike. Looks like Campagnolo Chorus groupset. $375. (Note: if made today, it's a $4200+ bike.)
1997 Co-Motion Espresso Campy, 58cm, in Reynolds 853 steel - $375 (OP, KS)
1997 Co-Motion Espresso Campy, 58cm, in Reynolds 853 steel - $375 (OP, KS)
My favorite ride of any bike I've ever owned. Smooth as glass that climbs exceptionally well and accelerates in a snap - is now up for sale.
58cm
Only reason I'm selling - I've moved to smaller bikes and now ride a 55/56cm. As much as I love it, I now feel too stretched out when I ride it. Hoping to find someone else who will love it as much as I have.
Clean with a couple of paint nicks from RAGBRAI transport- it's traversed a couple. Wheels still spin forever, all works as it should with new bar tape. Tires are good chain still in spec.
See specs from Bicycle Blue Book - I think it's pretty much original - maybe a couple of upgrades (including original upgraded 2 tone fade paint job).
https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/Sear...priceMax=18377
Pedals not included but will leave them on for a test ride.
Call, text or email with questions or to schedule a test ride.

Someone should take a very close look at that Cuevas posted above.
The one I owned was gorgeous, with very nice lugwork.

Road Bike - Team Fuji - $25 (Chapel Hill)

It looks very similar to a Simoncini Special Professional I sold earlier this year. The Special Professional decal was identical as were other parts of the bike.

Glad you got it. I contacted the woman shortly after it was posted. She said I could pick it up on Saturday. I ended up passing on it because I knew I wouldn't keep it plus it was a bit of a drive. An even farther drive for you. Hope you enjoy it.

Ditto that. The Cuevas family left Argentina when things got ugly there in the 80's and set up a custom frame building shop in Astoria, NY. A friend of mine has one built for him by Andreas in the mid-80's with the same grey-to-black fade finish. It was a beautiful frame.
