"1986 Specialized Allez SE (reputedly) handbuilt by Jim Merz", 60cm, $350
Not 3Rensho, but Jim Merz is a storied builder in his own right. And cheap given the fact that he built it.

Still undoubtedly the better for him having a hand in it.
I think he did build a couple of team bikes for specific riders.

I blew my bike budget buying a Serotta Atlanta just yesterday, and a Lemond Buenos Aires a few days ago. Don’t get me wrong, I love the other bikes! But, a mint Ti Serotta with those upgrades under $1000?!? Come on!

Cheap Holdsworth-made Claud Butler
Somebody go get this.
Iowa Holdsworth
Closeup shows this is a Claud Butler.
Handbilt road bike by the Holdsworthy company (1985). It has a Brooks leather saddle. It is 10 speed gearing with 50 and 35 tooth sprockets on the hub and (5) 32 to 16 tooth sprockets on the rear. The lowest gear ratio is 1:1.1 with the highest at 3:1. The low gear ratio makes it a great hill climber. Really good on RAGBRAI. Construction is butted Reynolds 531 tubing. The frame fits a 5' 11" to 6' 2" person. Equipment features SunTour derailleur, Weinmann caliper brakes, and 27" x 1 1/4" tires with presta valves.
Seat post - 24" Top Tube - 22" Stand over - 34"

Jos van Veldhoven (eBay handle v*v*velo) has a pair of the early style Campagnolo Doppler shifters up for sale:
Early Retrofriction Shifters
I'm sure they will go for a pretty penny, but at the moment (nearly five days left) they are only at £30.

What a smooth ride... And if you're not a lover of Ultegra, here you go, build your own! If it was for sale in the Beacon Hill that I'm familliar with, I would buy it. (Even though I have one.)
Cheers, Eric
