I picked up a 60cm Gitane Super Corsa for $100 today from an older retired guy who just can't ride anymore. Balance issues. I mean, the bike mechanically was in no shape whatsoever to be ridden anyway, missing one entire brake cable, both Simplex mechs cracked to hell, "the usual". But generally speaking, some of my best deals in ATL have come from retired guys. My blue 60cm Gitane TdF came from similar guy in similar situation, but was in mint shape.
1st bike I've bought in a while. Price was too good to pass up. I suspect with the shape the paint is in, it'll need a refinish though.
