Nice OLD ladies' Sports, neat chaincase, looks like a 23" frame, but not even those Wald baskets make it worth $800.

Talk about a quick turnaround
I was excited to score some free brakes with this one.
But it was taken in minutes. And then just about an hour later, this post popped up:
Alas, I'm too slow.

This is not a dig at Steve Bauer, great athlete and he's done an awful lot. This is a dig at the seller in this ad.
Notice the bike is a "Steve", no it's not "like new" and $1,199 Canadian is about $960 USD to put this in perspective.
ps. He's also got a Steve Bauer Whirlwind listed for $1000 Canadian....

I like that- it doesn’t mean HE did the tune-up; just that it happens to be in a tuned state. So he’s not being dishonest- he just lucked into it!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sun...gAAOSwwPhWlGbH - not a lot of money, but it's still very high for a 'lever changer' that looks for all the world like a broken FD. The seller has good reviews, though the buyer of this item may ruin the 100% record.

Sadly, not every chrome Paramount is a thousand-dollar chrome Paramount. Keep after them because they're likely to be advertising it for a while at that price.
