"Late '70s" Trek appears to be an '83, with the under-the-BB cable routing. Tight rear triangle, 7-something? Paint job is so thick (or is that a mediocre PC?) that the serial number might be obscured. And those poor seat stays are crying for mercy with that rack mounting. COVID tax is offset by the too-much-crap-bolted-on discount.

Auto-correct strikes again. This "Kettle" is a Kettler German-made early aluminum-frame MTB. Awful photos/info. Cool slingshot stem. I think it's Deore, but I don't know which. Geezer-pleaser saddle.

Not cheap, but definitely a time traveler . . .

nice!! weren't these early ones with the braze-on studs for Diacompe (and Mafac?) centerpulls?
My apologies if I got someone's hope up. I ended up buying the bike - came with full set of Karrimor panniers and handlebar bag, small goodies, original catalogue and owners manual, spare spokes, cables and chain. Got it for fair price and owner was happy it is going to a good home. Will post detailed thread at some point. Bike is exceptionally clean and well taken care of.

Speaking of reasonably priced Bridgestones, the Mile 112 seems to consistently be a good value compared to RB2/1s.

Bridgestone Mile 112 road bike - $200
Nice, I had one of these and was impressed with how well it road. I expected harshness from the alloy fork but that just wasn't the case. The bike would move out pretty well too. I remember one ride on it when I was feeling good and moving at an unusual 26 mph pace. Came upon a fellow all tucked down in a newer Cervelo that tried to hang with me but the old Bridgestone was too much for him, fun times.

So, who snagged the 1977 California Masi (black/chrome fork crown/1010 dropouts) that was listed on Seattle CL for $1000?
It's gone now, and I wanted to share it here a couple days ago but was having issues that day with getting photos/links added to the post - so I gave up
It was in fantastic shape, all PC Campy NR. I asked the seller if the paint and decals were original but never heard back.

Everything on the bike is original. The bike needs new tires and tubes and a seat. The bike has been in storage for about 20 years....protected from the outside elements. There are very few minor nicks and scrapes on the bike but overall, the bike is in great shape for its age.
Serial #: 86551

Something you don't see every day, a Martelly (think "Fauxnago"):
Vintage early 1970's Colnago Super Campagnolo replica by Martelly steel frameset
If it was a smidgen bigger, I might have tossed out a bid.

The Maillot Jaune seems pretty pricey considering I paid $25 for these two frames one of which is a Maillot Jaune. I have seen complete bikes for $500 - $600 with Dura Ace components.

That Nishiki ad from eBay ^^^^ belongs on wacky thread. Enjoyable read.
Per seller it has "Suntour GP peddles" "Suntour gear switches" and is made with "Super light weight Japan metal".
