The catalog specifies Campy SR, but it's Shimano 105/600EX all over as far as I can see. I'd consider it at 1/4 of the asking price.

That 770 is still a great frame, but yeah, the parts are throwaways. I picked up a 770 not too long ago for more than this, but it's all original Campy SR with tubs + clincher wheels.

I've purchased from seller before, was a good transaction. Definitely looks to be parting out things, but the NR stuff I saw at the time of the first listing didn't date-match to the approximate range of that bike's serial number.
Nice looking Swiss Super Mondia goodness, $150 starting bid:

I'm almost positive the Circuit was not Chicago. It might have been Greenville, but I'm not exactly sure if there's any good sourcing on exactly which high-end 80s Schwinn models were Greenville and which were Japanese. (if it has a "made in USA" on it, it was definitely Greenville).
Regardless, those are nice bikes but I'd probably bargain down to $350-ish.

+1; last challenge, I was sorely tempted to enter TWO bikes for < $100 total, but ran out of time to ride each one the required 100 km.

Not a brand I've seen too often in the US, but Columbus Tretubi/Shimano 105 "Golden Arrow" makes for a very nice mid-range roadie. Weren't these Belgian bikes?

I've noticed this too for other ads, but I'm not sure if the trend is increasing or steady. It's really disappointing to come across a nice frame that's supposed to have nice bits, but it has common bits, and is still priced like it's equipped as specified.
for example:
https://columbus.craigslist.org/bik/...074744336.html (sorry, there's no really good pictures here)
The catalog specifies Campy SR, but it's Shimano 105/600EX all over as far as I can see. I'd consider it at 1/4 of the asking price.

Cheap Trek - Already Gone
I was going to post this... Really I was. But then I decided to pounce instead. Called the seller 22 minutes after the ad went up, and I was first. Beat every flipper in the Twin Cities - he told me his phone didn't stop ringing until he pulled the ad down.

This one may be my first flip. It's in excellent condition and all-original. What ever happened to that appraisal / What's-it-worth thread?

(Someone should start a Cheap Trick tribule/cover band, with a C&V bike cheapskate flavor added, and call it "Cheap Trek".)

That, friends, is a non-steel steal! For that price, I would actually consider allowing an aluminum bike in the house.
It's not a thread, it's a whole section - https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...th-appraisals/ - post a new thread there.

Cool frame, could probably use a bit of oil on the chain. Comfy seat! Lock may be available at additional cost.
