that is one bike that would get me to trade out the stumpjumper sport!
That is one beautiful bike! I have the `86 Orient Express, but this one is higher on the food chain.

Did you get it?

going to see it this afternoon if all goes well! the scheduling is a bit tight so i am hoping things align and I can make it early as I am worried someone else will swoop in.

yeah, first year canyon express: top of the line and fully lugged butted chro-mo with all the cool parts. its basically very similar to my stumpjumper sport but has prettier paint and the butting.

This looks like an 86 Nuovo Alloro but $550 might be pricey for Formula 2 tubing wit NR derailleurs, Gipimme, cranks and Modolo brakes https://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/...545721533.html

This Bianchi in Monterey might interesting if it was closer to $300-350. It seems to have nice Campi brake calipers but DiaCompe levers, paired with a Gipimme crank and what looks like a SuperBee RD. https://monterey.craigslist.org/bik/...543691758.html

Oh man, what a bummer!

Well, this just popped up on our local CL:

Peugeot Orient Express Mountain Bike - $100 (NE Minneapolis)





Judging from the bikes you take interest in, I would guess it is too small for you. It's too small for me too, but it sure is tempting. If nothing else, it could be my first flip...

That milk-crate on the back really puts it over-the-top, doesn't it?

My girl found this on CL last night. I just got back from Portland Oregon at 3PM last night just to see her having this delivered Ended up paying $55.00
Moderate surface rust on the wheels, tires are shot and a Stingray seat on a full sized bike. Let the rebuild begin!

You just hope she didn't want the bike for the banana seat and ape hangers...

I tried contacting the seller regarding this bike last night and have yet to hear back. Have a few friends who want me to find and build them something similar to my Cimarron and this would fit the bill...

I know right..she has scoliosis (curved Spine) and hip problems. The more upright she is the better. She's not getting any younger (55 years old) Going to junk the seat and install something more practical and do something with the bars

Ouch - great that she's still riding (++ for vintage steel). I'm 57 and things don't work the way they used to physically. Mentally sometimes I think I'm still stuck at 12, which is not a good thing either.
