A couple weeks ago, I saw what I believe is this same Santana tandem at a local thrift store for $300. Now I see it for sale on CL for $875.
https://fresno.craigslist.org/bik/d/...404678069.html
I debated buying it myself in order to flip, but my selling skills suck, so I took a pass. Plus, selling a tandem must be at least twice as difficult because you need to find a couple that will fit both front and back (and has $875 to spend). What are the odds of that?
But if this person can realize a $575 profit on the sale, more power to them.

Yeah my guess is you’re not gonna make a lot money flipping tandems.

Rare 1984 Raleigh Superbe. 56. Reynolds 531.
These don't appear very often. They started off under the Rampar branding and then changed to Raleigh in their later years. Not perfect, but a nice example of a fully top end Suntour Superbe equipped bike, including the really rare Superbe stem! Sadly to tall for me....

This is a very good price for a beautiful bike with nice components. Wheels don't look original. I have a 1989 model which, interestingly, does not have the top tube decals. The striking lugs and lug lines make the bike special. I found mine when it was posted in this forum.

Yep, I picked up that Bottecchia. Been wanting one like that for some time. Had an ADR but the colors just didn't work for me.

I doubt it'll be up for long, 59cm Raleigh Alyeska, $195. Looks like it never went on a tour, poor thing.

There's a lot of talk about pink bikes here (a couple pages back). I thought I'd post a bike I sold a few months ago. I found it on CL for a heck of a deal and the owner had it stored in the garage for a couple decades. After a complete tear down and cleaning, the bike looked like new. The paint was in mint condition and the Shimano 600 components were rust free.

Made in England 1970's Raleigh Grand Prix, $200. The very short wheelbase on this bike makes me think it's intended for racing. Some of these bikes were incredibly light for the era. Can't make out the tube sticker, unfortunately, so I don't know which tubing they used.

Oh well, figures. I was hoping it might be Reynolds 531 or something. That's what I get for posting bikes I know nothing about.
Will try to stick with only posting ads here for machines I'm more familiar with.
Still, it "looks" very nice if nothing else.
