$250 Grizzly, no drive shot (would have been a Deore group, iirc) but looks in good shape from the one listed picture.

Dawes Londoner. Small. Drillium. Reynolds 531st. Looks like Cyclone MkII (or ARX?) with Powershift. If not for an 86-mile drive one-way I'd be all over this thing for parts. $85 ask.
[edit: Is that a high/low flange rear hub? Avocet saddle?]

I sold two Professionals this week, and neither were anywhere near as nice as this one. I didn't get $1000 for the pair of them, either.

Perhaps the steal of the day! I picked up this one today locally for $85. Listed last night on Facebook. Needs some work. Minor dent on the top tube and the front brake is misaligned or bent. Campy drivetrain. Serial number starts with WK7 which tells me it was built at the Workshop in July 1977.

Yike's!

2 should have been worth at least that but I think these have summited their long run for the most part, they just don't seem to bring the good money they used to.

That being said, of course a couple have sold recently on efbay for more than they should have, go figure.

In the realm of you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it buy a screaming deal on a classic road bike:
I stopped by the LBS to scope out the used rack yesterday after a long ride with a buddy and there sat a mint '84 MIyata 1000 tourer.
For $185.

It was too large for me but hey, it would fit said riding buddy so I dashed back to his house to give him the heads-up.
He ended up passing on it.

Sigh.

Those Professionals were in rather poor barn-find condition. Wheels, pedals and headsets moved stiffly. The newer one was a rusty crusty. I did okay on the deal.

The serial number shows it to be a 22.5" model 730, built in July 1979. This is consistent with what I can see of the frame fittings and braze-ons.
