Vintage JEAN BRUN (Reynolds frame) Swiss ROAD BIKE - $175


Nice original vintage Jean Brun road bike. Reynolds frame. Serial # 76846. 10-speed. Bike is being offered as found and will need adjustments, repairs, tires, etc. It does appear to be complete. Frame size measures approx 23-3/4" to top of seat tube. Top tube length approx 23". Names and observations as follows. Reynolds frame, Record stem, Weinmann 610 brake calipers, Brooks B17 leather saddle, Fiamme wheelset, Campagnolo derailleurs, Silca Impero frame pump, Suntour shifters, Weinmann brake levers, Maxi crankset. See pictures for more details. Being offered as found.

-----

Thanks very much for sharing this find.

Fascinating.

Thinking right near to 1972 for a date.

Regarding size -

thinking it appears smaller than seller's stated size.

wonder if perhaps they might be measuring oddly as bottom-to-top rather than centre-to-top.

might be worth contacting them for a clarification...

64cm Ron Cooper - $300.

It's been mechanically converted to fixed gear, but the seller is including the original Campagnolo components in the sale.

Seems a stupid good deal, though it's been advertised a year prior at the same great price and it seems no one bought it. Baffling.

Buy it before I try and see how long that top tube is. I have lovely bikes already, but dang, a Ron Cooper????

Eddy Merckx Corsa Custom 71cm for very tall - $1300 (Boston)


This isn't just a custom 80s Eddy Merckx road bike, it might be the biggest one ever built. It has a 71cm seat tube and 65 cm top tube center to center. Racing geometry based on the Corsa Extra, it's SLX tubing with Campy drop outs, Campy headset, bottom bracket and seat post. It runs a Shimano 600 tricolor 7-speed indexed groupo, nitto stem and modolo bars, fizik bar tape and turbo saddle. It has low mileage Mavic open pro rims and Dura Ace front hub and Ultegra rear with 700x23c Continental four season tires (fits at least 28s if installed flat). It climbs, brakes and corners well.

I've owned it almost 15 years and bought it from the original owner here in MA. Date codes and frame details place it as a 1985. It was ordered through International Bicycle in Brighton, MA which was bought by another shop and other records are unavailable.

It shows typical component and frame wear for its age and use but has no mechanical or structural issues. Stem, tape, tubes, cables and housing, hoods, and saddle were recently replaced and headset was serviced.

Original owner was 6'-5". I'm 6'-7" but believe it could fit someone up to 7' with stem and seatpost adjustments. Standover is ~37.5". Forward to all your tall friends!

Pedals shown are not included.

Happy to share more photos and details.

Any boxing or shipping will be at the buyer's expense.

Same seller as above

Nishiki Olympic

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...4063156437242/

Nicer condition bike for $149, condition wise it does look like a trainer.
I'd make an offer on both if I lived near there.

Per ad: "VINTAGE 1964 PANASONIC BICYCLE LIGHTED SIGN"

It's not 1964 (I think seller is reading the Amps stamp on rear) but would be a cool wall hanger for inside a garage


Might not sell so seller might take an offer.

Merckx is mine, if anyone has any questions. It was never owned by a celebrity.

That is a sweet bike. If it were my size I would make contact to make sure that everything that is on the bike in the picture actually comes with the bike. It is not cheap but it looks almost brand new. With the condition of everything on the bike, if it is the total package, I would surely consider it.

Yup, that's where the value kicks in. The simple fact that the whole kit is original. It's basically "museum condition".
