I know! A little voice in the back of my head was saying "How can your bike look like a piece of **** if it's shining? For the love of god put the rag down! You're not supposed to polish a turd!" Then I remembered this:

To be completely fair, there are loads of BSO junk made much more recently that falls within the sub $100, locally, but a C&V bike? Just 60's and 70's Schwinn's, Free Spirit's and Columbia's, along with local favorites Concord. The rest are 80's to 90's rigid MTBs, and 20" BMX bikes and Huffy's of all periods. Although, you made me look again, and there might be a nice ride out there being overlooked for the bigger brands, but I can't tell the size from the pictures.

Edit to add: Don't we all want to experience and share remarkable finds like randyjawa?
