Does "vaporride" mean it was sold? Is there a big market for Eclairs?

Someone may have stripped the original group and installed this group as a way of combining a unwanted frameset with an unwanted group that was simply convenient to install.

I know there's some here who love the old Cannondales, especially the touring models. Here ya go:
Cannondale ST600 Touring, the seller says it's 60cm, but it looks like it could be 58. Looks like they've kept it updated and running well except that the chainrings look a little worn. $280

I didn't think the Athena and Chorus stuff from that period was that far off from one another. I mean, wasn't that Athena more or less just two year old Chorus parts? (again, a genuine question). I see what you mean about 7-speed though, as that does seem particularly desirable.

Screaming deal, Miyata Ridgerunner for $100. Looks like it's original except for that god-awful stem/handlebar combination. 18" frame size (I would've grabbed it if it was 19.5"!!)

Did anyone see the Centurion Pro Tour without the wheels in the Seattle Craigslist? I went back to look at it again and the listing is no longer there, maybe it sold.
Not that I need another Pro Tour, but if the price is right...

Everybody's favorite brand, austro daimler. It was difficult, but I think I have deduced from the crappy ad picture that it's a SLE model, so 531 tubes.

The SL-E has butted 531 main tubes, is not full 531. One step down from the full 531 Inter 10 of the era.

If pink is your thing this could be interesting - $75 bid start, possibly a low-cost project with Tenax tubing. Looks to be in great shape, hardly ridden. Seller is a bit ambiguous on shipping - First he says he won't ship, local pickup or he'll deliver in a limited area. Then further down in the notes he says he'll update Wednesday with FedEx costs.

It ain't cheap. But it is orange.
1973 Atala Professional, apparently owned by seller since '75. $600
...Looking at SN, might actually be a '71?
