Procured, it was listed a couple weeks ago for $125, I sent half a dozen emails, crickets. ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Then it pops back up for $100, sent an email, nuthin, sent another, "oh sorry, they were all going to my spam folder.", ok, I want to come see it, went and seen it, done.![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Really wish it was my size or closer to it.
Maybe someone has a big one to trade. ![Innocent](images/smilies/innocent.gif)
It is the nicest bottom of the line frame I think I have ever seen, lots of chrome, all good and in good shape, some crappy parts, Campy GT RD, tektro levers, etc., some good, Uni CP brakes and all the bits, plain, original chrome HS in good shape, Campy crappy/good/ok FD and shifters, cable guide, and not sure about the hubs, one Gnutti skewer but no markings on the hubs, seem to be ok matched set but..., rims are something ORO.![foo](vb/cache//ds.jpg)

Minor update, levers are Uni so brakes complete and original, they were loose but don't seem cracked as they tightened up ok. Going to say the hubs are Gnutti as many were unmarked and these appear to be them, laced to Nisi Toro 27in.
rims so assume wheels to be original too. 3ttt stem with the hole at the top in the back, bars are unmarked near the stem as far as I can tell. I put some MKS Sylvan quills and an Ideale 39 on it, gave it a wipe down to assess the grime, normal but not too bad and weighed it, 27.6 lbs., pretty heavy but as I said, this is a very nice frame for bottom of the barrel, good chrome, good brazing and ok parts for the time, whatever that was. ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)

Someone is selling the first MTB I had ever bought in 1992, a Huffy Stone Mountain. The next year I upgraded to a Trek 8000 that cost exactly $1000.
I won't bother posting a link but $40 and it's yours![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

^^^^^^ reminds me of the bike that got me back into cycling. My son passed a very similar Huffy mtn bike up to me. It was heavy and free and good enough for a while. Rekindled my interests and it got a lot of miles under me but would not respond to maintanence (ex: those stamped steel calipers) so I started looking for real bicycles then........
The Huffy eventually went into "the tip" fully beat and worn out.

Anyone in the area willing to facilitate?
Good if you're looking for a small bike, obviously, but $175 for the parts alone (especially the Campagnolo Omega rims) might be borderline worth it...

18" seat tube

Campagnolo Omega rims
Campy hubs and skewers
7-spd BSC freewheel

Please note that the shifters are not the smoothest!! They work, but sometimes require a delicate touch to get them to engage. I've ridden with them like this for the past three years and rarely have any real issues.

There is a local bike for sale that appears to have this frame:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/25489150337...kAAOSwSIRgQs2f
The pictures for the actual bike are really bad, but it does have bar end shifters which caught my attention. Would that frame be a better bike or entry level?

So, the bike has a three-arm TA crank, Campy 68-SS spindle, Sugino cups, and Stronglight bolts. A real international effort on this one.

Albert Eisentraut - $600 in Brooklyn. The seller claims it was made in 1977 and that is a 55cm square frame. I can facilitate if anyone is interested.
