Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where I am that would be listed as:

Beautiful vintage early WSD road bike. Great for a commuter as it has fenders and a forward storage rack. $650 OBO.

All it needs is the Red goupset to bring it under 14lb, and you'd be flying.
