Are these bikes notable?
im curious if anyone knows anything about any of these bikes. I cant get anything from them on google.
*this was in bike mechanics by accident*
The nova commuter


Peugot Evasion (doesnt look like a nice peugot)


The 15 SB MTB Finelli (no idea whats going on here I assume its a 15-sp mountiain bike.. but it doesnt look like one)
I would like to use this but its 20.5" CT and I ride a 63cm road bike comfortably so i think its small


15 sp Suteki (I've seen these as touring bikes but I think mines a mountain bike... it also has very strange handle bars)
This is my utility bike because its 22.5" C-T. Biggest 26" bike ive seen in a while

I know there is lots of extra cable but im changing things up and ill cut it then

The Nova is an 80's department store POS.
The Peugeot is a Procycle-built cheapie from the mid-90's.
Never heard of Finelli, but it's obviously an 80's POS.
The Suteki is an 80's department store bike that someone has changed the crank and brake calipers on. Heavy and cheap, but decent-riding as a cruiser - like old Quebec-built Raleighs are.
Nothing notable here. The Peugeot is probably the nicest of the bunch, but the Suteki is a decent cheap cruiser, and I like the stem and bar on the Nova.

There were probably thousands of bicycles brands made over the years, many of which fell by the wayside. Finding information on some bikes will be pretty difficult. If you are looking for a decent bike, you might get some help here by learning about frame and component features that are usually found on good quality bicycles.
Hope this is a help.

There is a Suteki thread on here somewhere, but yours might be the only MTB. You should take some bigger photos and add them to the thread. Here in the US Sutekis were sold @ Sears.

because it is not a Peugeot PU80 or Motobecane LOL
I am not familiar witht he brand either but, it appear to be a lower quality frame with STAMPED dropouts vs forged. not haveing a rearderailleur hanger also is a good indicationit is lowend. the crankset looks nice it have have been added later. is the a 26" or 27" wheeled bike.?
if you have lots of spare parts around and lots of time I would not worry too much about any of them.

The name of your Finelli is probably inspired by the famous Italian bike Cinelli.
Dolnago=Colnago
Finarello=Pinarello
It kind of like when you can buy a Bolex watch from a street vendor that looks just like a Rolex
No offense intended, just having some fun (after KU lost to UNI yesterday....don't get me started)

From all of these bikes, the Peugeot has the highest potential. It is a hybrid with a CroMo frame, double eyelets on the back and front and canti brakes. With a little work and a few parts, upgrading the components, adding fenders and racks (you got at least one rack I see) and replacing the steel stem, bars and seatpost with lighter alloy, it would make a very nice all-around or commuter bike.

I would be dropping the off at my favorite thrift store. Rehab cost exceeds bike value, at least around here.

Is the citation 1000 any good, that my my girls current roady, I wouldnt ditch it or anything Im just curious. has anyone heard of the brand?
Advice taken on the Puegot, im moving and I think its the only unfinished bike I might keep.
I agree about the nameless bike... it seems nice, the components seem decent too. Its actually in the exact same size as my current roady so i dont need it, I was just curious about it.
There is also this frame at my coop which we were going to toss (fork is bent, dont know, how mostly likely car accident, thus frame will be sketch)
is a ProTour 10 sp worth keeping?

That thing is destroyed, and to rebuild it would be very unwise. Strip whatever components you might reuse and trash the thing.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks to be some sort of Schwinn possibly, judging by the peeling(almost gone) decals, and star shaped bottle cage braze ons. At least
Le Tour level if not higher.. About 83-86ish?,,,,BD
I could be way off though?
