Could be, hence the question mark on my sentence. Ad-hoc pump and tiny picture with fatter tubing makes it too difficult for me personally to call.

Cannondale's not my "normal" thing, I just happen to have a mid-80s SR500 60cm I really enjoy riding, the head tube on it looks shorter to me on that eBay bike I linked.

But regardless, I think it's potentially a great deal for someone on a bike I was shocked to find enjoyable.

If you live in or near Trenton NJ to NY, NY steal of a deal on Brooks, let alone the bikes!!!
I'd say buy the bikes, replace seats and sell the bikes to pay for your gas. Posted 6 hours ago

Well I had always ridden frames that needed at least two fists of SP, longer stems up at or past their limit or Technomic's since jumping back in 7-8 years ago.

Then last year stumbled on the 66cm Merz and found out how much better it rode, especially on longer and harder for me rides.

Bought a 26 inch Paramount to confirm so here we are. I can still ride all the other 62 and up bikes and frames that I have just fine but not buying anything smaller unless its way to good/cool/rare/obscure or cheap to pass on

I suspect there are a fair amount of us that have come to this sort of realization, I always knew I needed a big frame but they did not readily present themselves and I seemed fine until I finally got an accurate PBH/inseam measurement, almost 38in. I'm only 6ft tall so that is a bit unusual and really made it clear I needed the even taller frames.

I recently also had a proper fitting and they were surprised that I had the 60cm Gordon and the 66cm Merz both setup with near perfect riding position especially after completely settling in after riding 15-20 minutes on the trainer.

Holdsworth Special - $350 (Watertown)

Small Blue Holdsworth Special. I believe from early 80’s. In very good vintage condition. Reynolds 531 tubing. Eclectic mix of components. Dura-ace brakes, Campagnolo shifters, Suntour derailleur, Stronglight headset, Mavic wheels, 51cm downtube (center to center).

Rocket-Sauce 

This one has all the cool bits from the late 80s: Bio Pace, hite rite, roller cams, under chainstays brake, bullseye hubs (and pulleys!)... Did these originally come with mismatched brakes / levers? Wouldn't Shimano U-Brakes been spec?

That Maruishi looks to be sporting a Tange Champion sticker but it's not a great picture so maybe not.
If so, that and Superbe components seems like a deal at $100.

What would a miyata 310 have to look like to warrant $650?

NOS?

Nah, not even NOS would anyone pay $650. Maybe $450. Maybe.

But who here would buy any bike without knowing what the seat tube looks like? Maybe if you were going to scrap the frame and keep the parts...

Selling a beautiful Rodriguez road bike with lovely lugs and solid parts. Has been in a garage for a while, so it could use a little TLC or you could hang it on your wall a piece of Seattle history. It is *roughly* a 54cm (see pictures with tape measure.

That might be the best looking Cannondale that I have seen. The geometry looks aggressive.

If it wasn't a 7+ hour drive yeah. They are saying over on FB it might be bent. I asked for better pics.

Could be where they placed a lock? Resting on a water bottle or the holder?

Rollfast

The thing is, I think I've seen one of those.

Braze a foothold on the seatstay for me?

$20 Schwinn Letour Kansas City

"This is a womans street bike made by schwinn chicago. It needs a new back wheel but everything else works. Well."

I think the cranks are worth over $20

You’re certainly long of leg! I’m 6 foot 3 with a 35 inseam. I’ve always. gravitated to 62, but the chrome Pro is a 64 and I still have a good 6-7 cm of seatpost out. On the other end of the spectrum, my PX-10 is way too small for me, 54 or 55. It was the bike my mentor had when I first started riding and wrenching back in 1972. He gave it to me about after I reconnected with him about 8 years ago so it’s got too much personal attachment to give it up. I’ve made it fit...and its a great-ride.

Ross Signature $75 in Washington, DC

Per ad: "Red 12 Speed Ross Signature Road Bike, Bicycle 21" Frame, 28" Wheels. It’s a beautiful bike and rides well. Tires in good condition. It has been disassembled, so needs reassembly"


When seller says took apart he means took apart!

I know what you mean and that's my problem I already have at least 8 or 10 bikes and frames that are way to small that I bought as place holders and were pretty good deals also because in my twisted mind I had to have them.

A couple of them have attracted proper size ones but most weren't cheap enough to recoup much now that the market is soft, truth be told I probably never intended to sell them anyway, need to start planning to pass them along to deserving and unsuspecting friends and family.
