Would love another Nishiki or possibly a sekine.

Size needed is 55-56 seat tube.
I thought you had a Sekine? This will surely make a nice frame for someone.

I do, sized 21". It fits me nicely but on the agressive side. I would like a size above that for a relaxed nice ride.

True, the Nishiki is very nicely made! The frame tubing, details and chrome socks really stand out in person. If it was larger, it would never leave the stable.

Specialized Sequoia

I have a 51cm (c-c) Specialized Sequoia that is just a tad small for me. I'd prefer to get the bars a little higher. Its a great bike, with rack and fender mounts. Great double butted tubing on a lugged frame. Shimano 600 and dear head drivetrain. Diacompe Grand comp brakes. A really awesome sport-tourer.


I'm looking to trade for a touring bike in the 53cm (c-c) area. Another Sequoia would be great, or even better, a full fledged touring bike. I've been wanting a trek 720, Miyata 1000, Specialized expedition for years, but I really open to whatever.

I am in the Davis, CA area, extending into the Bay Area. Let me know!

1986 Lotus Legend (24" CTC) in NJ. Tange 1, Sprint 9000 group, Nitto bars/stem. Has some paint loss but it looks to be a completely chromed frame.

Looking to swap for a touringish bike 52-56) but I'll consider others.

Handlebar tape should be yellow to complete the three primary colors of light. Just sayin'...

Because you're always looking for something. Whether it is 'better', unique, or just interesting....

I have a 57cm square (I think) '87 Cdale SR500, the year they had the optional "custom graphics" so it's super rare valuable, dontcha know?

Let me know if you're interested, I can get you accurate measurements and much better pics. (Shown as found, it has been cleaned and touched up since then) I have the correct saddle for it, new cable housing and such to return to original. Except maybe the triangular 105 pedals.

I was planning on finishing it and keeping it on hand for a guest ride, but your Miyata is near the top of my list.

I would be interested in the Miyata 1000 as well, but ONLY if your swap for the Cdale does not work out, I have a 23" 82 Schwinn Voyageur SP that is a little to small for me. 100% original except for the saddle, which is now a black Brooks B-17. PM sent

60cm 1973 Schwinn Paramount. All Campy Nuovo Record. Updated the cockpit with Soma HwyOne bars and TRP RRL SR Levers, but will return to original Cinelli bars/stem, Record Levers and Record downtube shifters.


Looking for a 61+ (Preferably a 62-63cm) Any Paramount, LeMond or other interesting trades considered.

I am intrigued. I have a 1984 63.5 cm Paramount Touring frame in Fireball Red that is too tall for me. Standover height is 34 inches. What is the standover height and the top tube length?

I will measure it this weekend, I am not sure off-hand. Although I was looking for a complete bike trade.

I have a 1970s Peugot PX-10? In 63cm that does not fit me (5'10) looking to trade for something smaller 55-60cm.
It appears to be mostly original with simplex shifters and rear derailleur, mafac brakes, stronglight cranks, and normandy hubs with mavic sewup rims. Even has a matching water bottle. Only part that sticks out is the suntour cyclone front derailleur.
Had no dents or dings that I can see, but has some scuffs, some of which were touched up at some point on the top tube. I would like to keep this bike intact, preferable trade for a whole bike unless you have a super neat-o frameset. Also, sorry for the picture quality. I'm between real phones right now.

That’s a gorgeous bike and I would know exactly what to do with her. I even have the tubulars to go on her. Sadly, I have nothing in your size.

See my Cannondale a few posts upthread? Any interest?

Actual measurements are: seat tube 59cm c-t-t (and 55cm c-t-c) top tube ~56 c-t-c. I'm planning on finishing it this weekend. The lousy pic above is "as found." I'm building it catalog-correct (except consumables), and I have all the right parts to do it except possibly the one of the toe cages on the 105 pedals.
