Prima 220 drop bars on sale for $28.75

The drops are a tad short on these Prima bars, but it’s totally fine for riding on the hoods and you can’t beat the weight savings on these 220g bars

You could spend $1K just rounding up some of these critical parts, heck this one could be a parts bike

Mine is somewhat documented by Ken? at Cupertino to be a 60-1 for what that's worth based on serial #'s on both sides of mine.

This is one that you plan for the worst, hope for the best, take a leap and hope there is at least some water in the pool.

All good ?'s for sure, still, these are one of the few that can constitute justifying possible extraordinary measures to salvage them. This one, if actually a 68, it is at the tail end of the "good old days" I believe, we don't see too many from this period and I paid close to this for my frame and critical parts, 74mm spindle w/BB, SP, HS, 2 SP binders, Silca, spare decal set, S+H, so....

assuming they are original and if you had another in your size, better shape, etc.

Correct on all counts, I would have chosen a better place to inspect how easy it would be to remove the paint.. Bondo is just plain strange...but to each their own.

Univega Sportour - $75 (Minneapolis, MN)
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...type=top_picks

I'll include the original "those sure were some words" title and ad text:
"BIG MEN" BRILLIANTLY ENGINEERED HIGH PERFORMANCE UNIVEGA SPORTOUR BICYCLE MADE IN JAPAN
(Less cycles-increased distances) This bike is built for big men standing 5'10 to 6'5 who are serious cyclist. With its 29-inch wheels, the rider is cutting speeds like tour de France cyclists.

Vitus 979 Frameset
Not cheap, but not IMO stupid expensive either. Ruby red and native alloy colors; 53cm top tube; includes Shimano 6207 headset (one of those requiring the special tool). English BB threading.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/255626753344
Don't know the seller (though I have bought one item from them), and I have zero commercial interests in play here. Posted here just in case someone's looking for this type of frame in this size.

This can't be legit...can it?
This is an hour's drive from me. I'm 6'4" and this would fit me nicely, although the geometry may not be to my liking.

The claims about the frameset and wheels may be true about the very pricey custom Georgena Terry bikes that you can order today at georgenaterry.com, but this Terry Prism from the late 80's is a nice enough Tange frame built in Japan not hand built in Waterford. And I'm pretty sure that that's a red Araya sticker on the rear wheel. Fine wheel, but it's inaccurate to say that this bike features Velocity wheels hand-built in Grand Rapids, Michigan. When this bike was built, Velocity was just getting started making water bottle cages in Australia.
