Motobecane Grand Jubilee - $100 (Congress Park, CO)
https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/d/...568307134.html

https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/d/...568307134.html

Is that 61cm ctc usually with a 59 ctc top tube? I am assuming this one has 27" wheels and a huret specific dropout, hence the Crane on there.

Zunow near Houston, TX by original owner. Seller doesn't mention size, but it looks to me to be 58-60cm.

A couple pairs of Eddy Merckx cycling gloves. Note that the seller's eBay handle is "thewifemademesellit" :-)

Not cheap and not original, but it's hard to find a tall one. I foolishly gave away the one that was given to me. Had NO space for it.

Raleigh Technium Road Bicycle - $40 (Church Hill)

"I've owned this bike for 5 years. It is obviously much older than that. It rides quite well. It shifts on the frame. It received a tune up and new tires from a bike shop in Church Hill last year. I recently bought a new bike so I no longer need this one."

No steal but looks to be all original, down to the racks, fenders, saddle and appears to be in great shape.

Rodriguez Touring Bike - $650 (Port Townsend, near Seattle WA)
Very small frame classic Rodriguez touring bike. Standover is 28.5", frame size seems to be a 46cm, my sisters old touring bike.
Campy Mirage front and rear derailleurs, hubs, chainrings, cranks....everything but brakes.
Brakes are Cane Creek/Tectro Beefy 26" Sun box rims, front and rear rack. Bar-end shifters.
Great touring setup for a smaller person.
$650

1986 Ritchey Aspen, 21.5" - $675 (Beacon Hill, near Seattle WA)
The Aspen was one of Ritchey's Japan-made bikes in 1986. It is basically the same as the well known Ascent but with a rear cantilever rather than rollercam rear brake and had a slightly lower parts spec. The front triangles were tig'd in Japan while Tom and his crew did the stays, braze-ons and paint in the US. Not quite as nice as his fillet brazed American frames but still a Ritchey. Has filleted fastback seat-stays, vertical dropouts and nicely raked forks.
This one is almost completely original except for upgraded Shimano cranks (FC-6206) and Deore RD. Still has the paint-matched Bullmoose bars.
Early Ritchey Cr-Mo tubing and forks.
New folding Panaracer Dart tires.
Paint is 7/10, really nice metallic blue color.
Catalog scans can be found here for more info: https://ritchey.vintagebicycledataba...1986/index.php
Would make fun restoration or commuter project. Really fun to ride but it's time to work on other projects.
I may have a saddle and pedals laying around that I can throw on but the Brooks pictured is not included.
The pictures show brakes/derailleurs loose, I will re-cable the bike before selling.
Email with any questions, I will be out of town for the next two weeks but am happy to arrange a time to see it after that.
Thanks for looking

Wish the seller had posted mor epics of that Zunow. pLooked at it several times but hard to trll condition of wheels and other components. Some rust on brake caliper hardware, relaced or replacement wheels, and replaced brake holders/pads made me wonder how hard it had been used. Not a high end one at any rate...likely a lovely rider, however.

From the poor pics on the listing, I'm thinking its still a nice condition bike, just scuzzy from sitting. Houston can be a sticky place. Hopefully humidity, condensation and salt hasn't eroded any of it.
Would be terrific if someone here won it and share the story. Rare bird.

1983 Trek 600 sport touring bike 52 cm - $375 (Plainfield CT)

© craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap
(google map)
make / manufacturer: Trek
model name / number: 600
size / dimensions: 52 cm
Very nice Trek 600 in excellent condition. The bike been upgraded with a Shimano 105 triple crankset, new Shimano deraileurs, a new Shimano bottom bracket and new Shimano 105 brake levers. It has Suntour Spirit hubs with Mavic Open 4 CD rims, and a 7 speed freewheel. The frame is Reynolds 531. This bike is in near mint condition, with a few very minor chips in the paint. It is a size 52, for someone between about 5'5" and 5'10". Everything has been newly serviced, and the cables and bar tape are about a year old. I am in Eastern CT, near the RI border. I can meet with serious buyer closer to Boston. The bike was built in the U.S.A.
