Cities on CL where the weather is nice year-round (generally close to the ocean) and where a lot of wealthy people live who can afford really nice bikes, are always fun to look at. I like looking at CL Bikes For Sale ads for places like San Diego, Santa Barbara, LA, the Bay Area. Much better selection than I have locally, and fun to look at.
Except during these strange plaigg days, I've noticed that everything good is sold out, it's nothing but kid's bikes and low end MTB's. And some really overpriced stuff.

1978 Schwinn Paramount P15-9, s/n J7828, all original with tool kit and pouch - $1,200
My Dad bought this bike new. Basically has not been ridden in the last 30-35 years. I’ve had it in my garage for the last 18 years. Overall the bike is in very good condition. Needs new tires, tubes and cleaning. See photos for components. Great little project during the covid 19 stay at home order. $1200

Vitus with Delta brakes. If it were closer to home and I had the room, I might pick it up just to try the brakes.

Re: 53 78 Black touring Paramount
Do steerer tubes do that? Maybe they cut the tops of the blades at an angle. But caster looks something LIKE bent steerer.
I'm going to support Beik Forums by watching a video of completely emptying my bowels in the morning. I've sensed organizers assessing my problem in this area before a race; maybe figurative.

I'm always a big fan of asking big money for a bike with flat tires.

1984? Trek 660, Elk Grove, CA - $399
It looks like it was never even ridden
seems like a fair price, but I don’t think it’s a steal. However, it’s been listed for a month, so they might be willing to deal?

Pics are terrible, but that's not a bad price for a 531 Trek with 600 tricolor.

and more for the "vintage treks with terrible photos" file (if he bothered to include a driveside shot, I believe the RD would be Campy NR)

1985 trek racing road bike. Excellent. Tuned up last year for $700. New tires. Perfect condition. A few scratches of course. Only 21 lbs.
Make a reasonable offer and it will be considered.
