I'm guessing the brake cable/housing is growing. It started out cut to a perfect length, but it continues to grow, mostly at night. He's tried, but just can't stop it. It's haunted him long enough. He's finally given up and put it up for sale.

^^^^^ Don't let a photographer catch you playing with the buttons as you pass the stands......

I think the assessment of condition and value is way off.
This poor thing is a beat down Frankenbike.
1985 Specialized Allez $429 plus shipping.
Edit: just lowered to 399. Woohooo

I dunno, those were pretty nice frames, and that has nice Mavic wheels, those specialized cranksets were awesome light and strong, and I think the gears and stuff are period correct. true, its the Suntour Superbe based SE, not the straight Allez campangolo version

the condition is also described as a little more sunny than the pics show.
thats a lot of corrosion. More than just a touch up.
maybe I'm being harsh but that bike is beat.
is it worth $465 shipped? Not to me. Maybe someone. I'm curious to see what happens
