My just saw your post about looking for a small road bike. You might want to take a look at this link...

There is going to be a big bike swap at the Cow Palace in Daly City / San Francisco on November 29 & 30. Should be a few there to pick and choose from but small bikes go very fast in the Bay Area here. Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the advice. I picked up a flier for that bike swap a few weeks ago also. I think I may have found a good bike that fits my needs and isn't over priced.
A Bianchi Campione del Mondo. It's Japanese made, double butted. No rust, scratches, or dents for $350. I'm going to try to check it out tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help everyone.

Go https://www.bikekitchen.org/ and save. Five bills is highway robbery, even in the mission.

They're selling a 22 year old bike for $550, which probably cost $600 new in 1986. Ok, so they put on a pair of bull-horn handlebars and some fresh bar tape... that doesn't make it worth within fifty dollars of its original price.
I'm guessing at the original price, of course, but in 1986, $600 could buy a lot of bike. I have a friend who bought a new Cannondale in '86 (our Sr. year of high school). I remember he paid about $600 for his. As for how this one compares to his, I have no recollection other than that it was white.
