A 1982 Serotta Club in 57cm and SunTour Superbe Pro just sold for $150 near me. Near pristine. I am heartbroken that I missed by 30 minutes...

A thousand bucks is a good deal for that 10th Anno Merckx, as the owner seems willing to negotiate...

Think of it as $40 for a groupset and wheels, and maybe, the forks can be straightened.
Leesburg, VA

Bike has bent frame. Selling for parts. 8 speed cassette is in pretty good condition. 2 speed crank is also in good condition.

I'll admit I have no idea who made these but for $65 you get a pretty nice looking road bike with a triple and what looks like brazeon shifters. Tire look miss-matched and it predates when cheaper bikes came with bottle braze-ons. I know they made lower end bikes but have seen some nicer ones, usually twelve speeds posted on here.

Listed 4 hours ago in East Killingly, CTVintage 80s Japanese with a triple crank could use handlebar tape other than that it's ready

Maybe this has been posted already, but there's a smallish, Ultegra-equipped Tommasini up for bid in Colorado Springs closing soon: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/115831336. Looks like it has mismatched rims.

Sometimes you can do really well with these sales and sometimes it's a crap shoot.
Description makes no sense (smirking gear) and "23 inch rear rims". Unknown what the rims are (26 in?) but currently at $2 and there are used SPD pedals and what look like new SPD cleats and two rear racks if someone needs such things.
Phoenix, Az - Auction ending est. 8:41pm tonight.

Bike rims - 23 rear rims, Nordic Track parts, smirking gear, two rear bike racks. B

Same story but might be more here and bidding at $7. There's a Viscount frame on the wall, a Gitane, an Apollo frame, "Glenn's Complete Bicycle Manual" (that should cover your costs), forks and old wheels, a box marked "pedals, chains, brakes, headsets" and a box of unopened bar tape and a Brooks seat. Most of it look like junk but a few things might be fun to have.
Just be forewarned! You win, you have to remove everything you bought or pay a disposal fees.
Too bad it can't be inspected before hand.

Date codes on the parts would help narrow down the year.

I never saw a Vista nicer than that one, comparable to the Motobecane Super Mirage or Fuji Dynamic back in the day. Mid-mid-range.
