They may not be such a great deal after a 5300+/- mile road trip.

What the blank, does it RAIN old red Trek MTBs in the winter out there?

One of them looks like a giant black plum from Journey To the Center of the Earth landed on the saddle.....

That was my excuse. I gave a neighbor a bike, so he's going to get an upgrade. One flat tire and shifters are gummed up.

Nice score; that top-tube cable routing is sweet. I have one of the later e-stay Impulses; it turns heads, but it set me back more that BOTH of yours. Those are time capsules! I'm sure you know the shifter de-gum-up routine.

Seller says it's a 1954. Raleigh women's superbe, $125.

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/...819469123.html

Another raleigh, hard to tell what it is. I'm guessing a Grand prix? Whatever it is it's only $30.

74 blue Schwinn paramount. My size and I know some of you like this size too. I just don't have the $$$ and I live too far and have no car. It's missing the saddle, bb, and cranks.

Check the ad - quote:

"It used a unique gear system involving turning levers." Interesting description of downtube shifting.

Funny, the seller the self even acknowledges that it's being let go for cheap. Guess they need it gone.

I'm gonna bet dollars to donuts that "58cm" is the top tube length. As a rider of tall bikes in this exact size range, I am fairly keen on recognizing the 63cm+ frames (CTT) and this is assuredly a 63cm or 64cm. Gorgeous bike for sure.

My sister and I were shopping for a new washer today and stopped into a Restore store. Used furniture, old used kitchen cabinets etc. I was surprised to see bikes. Aside from a Schwinn Swidewinder these two Shoguns caught my eye.

I thought they were nicer when I saw the Champion decal but then I noticed the Tourney brakes. It wasn't until I was uploading the pics I noticed the tubing was Champion 5 and the cranks were Tourney as well. Still not bad bikes but $100 ea doesn't leave much room for flipping. Looks like maybe a 20 and 22"?

OH they also had this fabulous old radio. I love it and could care less about the turntable but $150 is too much to see if the radio works.
