Is that one of Bill Walton's bikes? Maybe Kareem Abdul Jabarr's?

More likely Kareems...Walton had his bikes custom built by Bill Holland.

58cm - $850 for a gorgeous full 531 race frame. in quite good shape. Reynolds decals do their usual shrinking/decaying, but everything else just needs a wipe down it seems. Owner lists the bike as a 'tandem' (uhhh?) and says it's never been ridden (I never believe that, and my assumption is true by the looks of it). It looks like it's never been ridden much at all. An '82 75x or 95x in 64cm would be a dream to own, IMO. The color combinations (white/red or white/blue) are stunning!

There's also been many years for it to have been stored and stored improperly/with junk laying up against it (something I prefer not to think about). White shows blemishes pretty easily, which doesn't help. IMO the seller is within a reasonable price range on a bike of this vintage, color, and caliber, to say nothing of componentry. If it looks at least as good as it does in the pictures, then it'd be a solid buy. For now, we all have time to wait for that price to ease on down. We shall see what the local Seattle market thinks, I guess.

1987+ Specialized Sirrus for a whopping....$149. Seriously, folks, these are fantastic bikes. 7-speed 1050-era Shimano 105 isn't slowing them down, but...11-speed 5800/7000 Shimano 105 isn't a waste. Again, just $149???

Low price is driven by the fact that it isn’t holy grail sizing of 62-64cm...

Tommasini? 54 cm
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tommasini-8...53.m1438.l2649
Ends later today and advertised as a Tommasini replica but I wonder what the odds are that this is a late 70’s Tommasini. Drive side rear dropouts is Gipiemme but can’t tell what
the NDS one is and I wonder if it was replaced at one point. At any rate opening bid will get you a 600 equipped decently made steel bike for < $200. I might have take a gamble if it was my size. Top tube sticker is strange.

Yet another Phoenix-based chrome Paramount, P15-9(?), $900. Third one I've seen in less than a year from that market. Ad says 26" 1952, but the serial and that headtube look indicate 23-24" and 1972 to me. Some potential but not so much at that price considering the usual cost of refurb and (if you're as obsessive as I am) sourcing the correct bits for it. Might be worth someone's time to attempt a negotiation.

...that might need a reasonably-priced repair stand?
Not vintage but who knew that Aldi sell bike workstand for $30?
