The NOS Trek 720 frameset could be a killer score for someone. Same with the Schwinn track bike. The original owner must've been a pretty small individual based on the sizes.

My Size, But...
Tomasso Italian Road Bike - $100 (Mount Pleasant)
Posted about an hour ago


"Vintage 1990's Tomasso Road Bike. Approximately 61 cm, so this is for a taller rider in the range of about 5'11" to to 6'4". Columbus alloy frame. Shimano RX100 components. Very good quality....made in Italy and was over $1,000 new. Only saw about three years of occasional use...including a 100k race. Hasn't been ridden in over 15 years so plenty of dust, but should clean up nicely. Pedals were transferred to another bike, so you'll need to add those. Will likely need to replace the tires as well. I'm sure I have a couple of tubes that I can throw in. Great deal for someone looking to get into the world of road biking without spending a fortune on their first bike.
bicycle frame material: alloy
bicycle type: road
frame size: 62cm
wheel size: 700C"

Gitane Project Road Bike 53cm - $25 (Vancouver, BC)
https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...003143694.html
Nice vintage steel frame in need of work. The bike was repainted several years ago and is in need of a repaint. No dents or dings though. Front wheel ( Shimano 600 on wolber rim) is missing an axel. Rear wheel is damaged.

^^^^^^ That Trek 850 isn't exactly chopped liver, either. But yes, the red bike is a SuperCourse, barely legible when you blow up pic 2. The logo on the fork is the RAMPAR style "R".

Mercian King/Queen of Mercia.
52.5 cm TT / 50 cm ST / 0 cm HT
$420
Reynolds 531 Super Tourist. 130 mm rear end. clears 32 Panaracers pictured w/ heaps of daylight. Fender eyelets and fender mounts at fork crown and seat stays but chain stay not threaded for whatever reason.
Nitto bullmoose bars, 10 speed trigger shifting, Shimerbe Ulpro 105 drivetrain, Shimano medium reach brakes with pads down nice and cozy in the slot, Avid speed dial SL levers. Ritchey wheelset 9see below)
The full disclosure part:
1. This bike had a car rack incident and the derailleur hanger was pretty mangled. I bent it back and aligned it with the proper DAG tool. I checked the frame itself's alignment via the string method and it is within 1.0 mm of perfect. I rode the bike around today and it shifts well and no ghost shifting and tracks straight w/ no hands.
2. The wheelset I bought from someone here (thanks a lot) and never ended up using it. When I went to finally throw them on this bike to get it ready it became apparent that the rear rim has a crack in it and when braking there is a big bump that you feel.
3. In light of #2 , for the asking price I'll throw in a Shimano Ultegra 6500 to Open Pro CD rear wheel. And if you want it a Dura Ace 7400 to sorta matching unknown rim front wheel. You take them all and swap the tires.
4. Chain is a bit short and could do with replacing but works ok.
There are several scratches in the paint. No dents I noticed. The paint job is really ******g pretty.

The Japanese track frames like that Sampson are much finer in design, fabrication, and paintwork than that Curtlo.

If I wanted a track frame for that price range I would just buy an handbuilt NJS frame like this one from Japan: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samson-NJS-...8AAOSw-hZcSVXc

Also, those proportions are really screwing with me. It looks more proportioned like a 58-60cm frame, but I suppose with a super short top tube then the headtube would end up being longer than typical for that size frame.

That paint (or at least those pictures) really aren't doing that frame any favors. Plus, if you're building a frame with fancy-ish lugs, why wouldn't you also take some time to file them down a little bit? Looks very chunky.

Cheap enough that one could get themselves a good looking fork. Man, it's like manufacturers were trying to make unicrown forks ugly, or as ugly as possible. Forget cheap production methods, have some aesthetic dignity! 2nd place of the Egregious Award goes, of course, to that era-specific stem. Woof. Creates what I call the "mountain range" cockpit, wherein the stem points up, the bars (ramps/tops) angle down, and the shifters angle up again. Quill stem conversion with a modern stem in the "slammed" position, with compact profile bars, would literally have the shift levers at the same elevation. All the gains of "sure-ness" of a stiffer front end, as well as incredibly improved aesthetics. Lighter weight even (possible). But first, that fork.

I saw this in February at $900 and posted here, it's down to $400 now. Wonder if it's a something with the bike, the market, the seller, or just odd circumstance? Some user-added parts on it that need replacing...

I'd say mostly it's the listing. The photos are its only saving grace. Seller drops the "c-word" (Campagnolo), which is disingenuous at best, and misleading at worst, as the photos indicate. For this much money (and especially for the original ask), the ad copy should contain the equivalent of a catalogue spec sheet. And he's not exactly instilling confidence by saying it'll "probably still run" with new tires/tubes. H3!!'s bells, Margaret, why not just INSTALL some tires/tubes and post a READY to ride bike?
