Interesting 1x setup. I first wondered why the front derailleur was so far away from the chainrings, but after closer inspection I saw there was only one.

Guess I should have known that it would be the perfect Bianchi Girl bait bike. 
This Super Sport has been sitting for probably a year, I'm not sure if it's one of the years they were good or not, but the price is right, at 80 dollars:

Not a brand I'm familiar with. Seller suggests it might have been made by Centurion.

I see these in black chrome so often that it's easy to forget how good these look in yellow.

Look at:
which is the exact bike down to the paint and components of a 1986 ironman- just decal swap.
novara:
centurion:
even the same cable housing and seat post

@CO_Hoya yup, Novara was the house brand for REI. They began some time in the '80s or so. The ad is actually mine. I saw a Novara Viaggio touring bike and apart from the Novara label, it was a dead ringer for a 1983 Centurion Pro Tour. It was pretty crazy. The Viaggio was too small for me so it didn't come home with me. This one builds into a nice bike, which I did just to see how it rode (and thus, aid in selling). It'll fit 30mm tires, but just barely.

SN is not fully conclusive per T Mar's database thread, but there are decent suggestions that it is indeed Centurion/Centurion contractor-based. The "N (1)" SN format is a direct match.
N4P5950 is the serial number, with N as a constant, the 4 as the year, the P as the month, and the last four numbers as sequence numbers. A November 1984 build would make sense for selling in the 1985 model year.

1972? Peugeot PX-10 - $150 in Hemet, CA
Pretty original other than wheels and hubs. Looks like it’s my size, but I don’t really need another project right now 
Perhaps for one of you Francophiles out there? Price is right

Nishiki - I believe Continental for $450 Canadian Looks very nice and that B17 Narrow I'd say nicer than any other I see in Ontario
Per ad:
Vintage Nishiki road bike. Excellent condition. This bike is perfect for getting around town. This Nishiki bike has a light-weight aluminum frame with Suntour components, a recent Brooks saddle, recent bar tape, and year-old tires with lots of tread. It looks great and rides smooth. Was bought last year from a bike mechanic, and has been well maintained. Brakes and gears work well. Chain is in good shape. Frame is about 58cm, a good size for a rider around 6 feet tall

I look through these and think "glad that's not my size"
Anyway,
Found this https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/b...098541491.html.
If I knew someone this would fit, I'd already have it on the work stand.
It's probably priced low enough to convert it back into a road machine and still put in less than it's worth.

I'm impressed on the sizing: 18x18, basically. Just about right. Not a lot of bikes, out there, with puny measurements in that range. (My last two bikes have been ~15-inchers, give or take. Top tubes are always too long, so I've dealt with it via stem+bar alterations.)
Enjoy the build-up. Looks like a worthwhile little project.
