Has no shortage of issues. Repaint, although the job was great and inspired by Eddie Van Halen's guitars, the raw steel prep was terrible, thus lots of under-paint bubbles everywhere. I'm worried there's possibly lug-joint compromise where the top tube meets the seat and head tubes on the underside. Gnarly ding on non-drive chainstay to boot. Two small dings from calipers on drive side of downtube, otherwise frame looks clean.
Wheelsmith-built wheelset and campy and Cinelli parts alone were well worth the ask (campy hubs, crank, BB, headset, post, FD, cinelli stem and criterium bar). Frameset is my size, but not sure the actual model, re-sticker when repainted suggests "Special Professional". Portacatena dropouts would put it late 70s, maybe early 80s? Seller says Columbus tubing. Still need to tear down headset/bb, maybe I'll find the original color then and confirm tubing.
Interesting find at a great price though. I'll probably clean up and treat the rust for now to slow up the oxidation. Maybe drop a couple hundred in refinishing later, I think this one is worth the effort.

Trek 400, 52 cm, $50 - Seattle
If I was closer to Seattle, I would snap this up. This Trek 400 appears to be from either 1991 or 1992 and it has True Temper (see top tube) tubing, despite the seller saying it's constructed with a Tange tubeset.

The frame has a cracked fitting for the rear rack that shouldn't be too hard to fix if someone wants to build this up.
.
A lot of stuff went right in the trash. The cotton tape under the ribbon tape had the strongest smell of oil, sweat, rain, and rot. That's the smell of death, folks!

I bought it today after a few days of craigslist email weirdnesses. $50 seemed like a deal for a matching 700c MA2/Superbe wheelset. A really nice oddity on an otherwise unfortunate looking build. I'll grab the Superbe fd and Tange headset, too. The frame has a cracked fitting for the rear rack that shouldn't be too hard to fix if someone wants to build this up.

Rare and early Vic Edwards custom. Attractive R-531, chrome socks. Posted on eBay UK, seller is a bike shop and likely capable of proper packing and shipping. Listed price or best offer.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-5...cAAOSwp-ZcfAJy
There's also another Vic Edwards made, Condor label in a very large size. Ornate curly lugs. Double the price of the one mentioned above.
