Cannondale's not my "normal" thing, I just happen to have a mid-80s SR500 60cm I really enjoy riding, the head tube on it looks shorter to me on that eBay bike I linked.
But regardless, I think it's potentially a great deal for someone on a bike I was shocked to find enjoyable.

If you live in or near Trenton NJ to NY, NY steal of a deal on Brooks, let alone the bikes!!!
I'd say buy the bikes, replace seats and sell the bikes to pay for your gas. Posted 6 hours ago

Well I had always ridden frames that needed at least two fists of SP, longer stems up at or past their limit or Technomic's since jumping back in 7-8 years ago.
Then last year stumbled on the 66cm Merz and found out how much better it rode, especially on longer and harder for me rides.
Bought a 26 inch Paramount to confirm so here we are. I can still ride all the other 62 and up bikes and frames that I have just fine but not buying anything smaller unless its way to good/cool/rare/obscure or cheap to pass on
I suspect there are a fair amount of us that have come to this sort of realization, I always knew I needed a big frame but they did not readily present themselves and I seemed fine until I finally got an accurate PBH/inseam measurement, almost 38in. I'm only 6ft tall so that is a bit unusual and really made it clear I needed the even taller frames.
I recently also had a proper fitting and they were surprised that I had the 60cm Gordon and the 66cm Merz both setup with near perfect riding position especially after completely settling in after riding 15-20 minutes on the trainer.

Small Blue Holdsworth Special. I believe from early 80’s. In very good vintage condition. Reynolds 531 tubing. Eclectic mix of components. Dura-ace brakes, Campagnolo shifters, Suntour derailleur, Stronglight headset, Mavic wheels, 51cm downtube (center to center).
Holdsworth Special - $350 (Watertown)

This one has all the cool bits from the late 80s: Bio Pace, hite rite, roller cams, under chainstays brake, bullseye hubs (and pulleys!)... Did these originally come with mismatched brakes / levers? Wouldn't Shimano U-Brakes been spec?

That Maruishi looks to be sporting a Tange Champion sticker but it's not a great picture so maybe not.
If so, that and Superbe components seems like a deal at $100.

NOS?
Nah, not even NOS would anyone pay $650. Maybe $450. Maybe.
But who here would buy any bike without knowing what the seat tube looks like? Maybe if you were going to scrap the frame and keep the parts...

(mix of Shimano 105, Deore, Suntour Mountech...)
Selling a beautiful Rodriguez road bike with lovely lugs and solid parts. Has been in a garage for a while, so it could use a little TLC or you could hang it on your wall a piece of Seattle history. It is *roughly* a 54cm (see pictures with tape measure.

You’re certainly long of leg! I’m 6 foot 3 with a 35 inseam. I’ve always. gravitated to 62, but the chrome Pro is a 64 and I still have a good 6-7 cm of seatpost out. On the other end of the spectrum, my PX-10 is way too small for me, 54 or 55. It was the bike my mentor had when I first started riding and wrenching back in 1972. He gave it to me about after I reconnected with him about 8 years ago so it’s got too much personal attachment to give it up. I’ve made it fit...and its a great-ride.
A couple of them have attracted proper size ones but most weren't cheap enough to recoup much now that the market is soft, truth be told I probably never intended to sell them anyway, need to start planning to pass them along to deserving and unsuspecting friends and family.
