Bike lovers: this is a 50 cm red Marinoni steel frame racing bike purchased in 1987 or 1988. I am the original owner and have loved riding this bike for 1000s of miles but have not had the chance to use it so much recently. It has new tires and Shimano 600 components.

Dashing Small Frame Trek 420 18-Speed Blue Touring Bike (Westmont)

This is what many of you have been waiting for…a deluxe lightweight classic Trek Touring bike in a compact 19-1/2” frame that’s perfect for adult guys and gals and even for teenagers who don’t need or want a bigger one. (Its standover height measured from the horizontal tube to the ground is only 29-1/2”.) With 18 speeds at your disposal, you’ll always have the right one to match your speed and preferred pedaling rate. So you can fly like the wind with minimum effort all around town on this extraordinarily versatile Trek 420. You might use it to commute daily to and from work, participate in races or bike-a-thons, or just enjoy it recreationally to enjoy the outdoors and make new acquaintances. You’ll especially appreciate its vast array of deluxe features. Take its frame for example – handcrafted from lightweight double-butted “Magnaloy 2001” (a high performance magnesium alloy) that delivers strength and performance like frames that today cost two or more times my price for this entire bike! Or consider its 165 mm alloy crankset that has a very scare and highly sought after TRIPLE gear rings that show no signs of wear whatever! Trek cranksets with TRIPLE gear rings were discontinued years ago, and remain very popular because they multiply your available gear speeds by three instead of just two that the current Trek DOUBLE gear ring cranksets all have. Which means you could take this bike apart and sell the parts for way more than you paid for it! The TRIPLE crankset alone could easily bring $60-$75. Or how about the rear carrier? For most bikes they’re an afterthought. But Trek had them custom made to exactly match each frame size. So they’re bolted directly to the frame, are much stronger, and can support more weight you want to carry. Although the frame is small, this bike features full-size 27” wheels that ride noticeably smoother and more comfortably than the 700 series ones you’ll find on new bikes. This bike also features loads of strong alloy components including: handlebars, seat tube, shifters, quick-release brakes, pedals with toe-clips, wheel rims and hubs, etc. that make it remarkably lightweight and easy to ride and carry upstairs. It has an Avocet Condor Seat for excellent comfort on long rides. You also get brand new inner tubes and the handlebars have been freshly and professionally wound in classy comfortable white wrap. I could go on and on, but if what I said so far describes what you’re looking for, you better act fast because there are a lot of folks reading this ad who have been looking a long time for a bike this very scarce size that’s this nice! If you want it, give me a call at 630-290-2092, and you can make it yours for only $169. Over they many years you’ll enjoy it, that’s just pennies a day. Sorry, no delivery available. Cash & carry only.
Another nominee for the great sales ad of the year.

Someone posted a nice looking 80s Celeste Bianchi with Campy parts on Sacramento Craigslist yesterday for $40. I was pretty sure it was a joke from the way the ad was written, but I e-mailed anyways saying I'd take it. I caught the ad 10 minutes after it was posted so I thought I was good.
This morning I got a response - the person said it was sold. Someone got one hell of a deal - anyone here?

This one is interesting if someone is looking for a large bike...
I may put in a snipe bid and get it for parts and keep the frame around to offer cheaply in case someone searches out a large frame. If someone wants it, let me know via pm and I will hold off on bidding, since I am only interested in it as a parts bike.

Vintage Motobecane Grand Jubile - $250 (West Hollywood)
"This is a 1976 or thereabouts Motobecane Grand Jubile. It's in really nice shape, some scratches and chips on the paint but other than that the frame is great. Reynolds 531 steel (bit better than the Vitus years).
The components are period but not original. It appears the original owner switched to a Suntour Cyclone-based drivetrain from the original Huret. The shifters were broken when I got it so I put some vintage Shimano downtube shifters on it. As you can see I also replaced the jockey wheels and pivot bolt on the rear derailluer. The SR crankset and the rear freewheel are in fantastic shape. The Weinmann brakes are original. Handlebar is the original Pivo, stem is a nice Nitto Technomic. Wheels are original Normandy hubs laced to Rigida rims. Seatpost is new, chain, tires, brake pads and all cables and cable housings are new as well.
I refurbished this completely. Bike was stripped down to the frame, everything was cleaned, bb, hubs, headset were repacked with new grease, I also flushed out the freewheel and got some new oil in there, cables and housings are new... it's all good.
If you have any questions please ask."

Yeah. The unfortunate part is the bike is a bit beyond my budget. With all that work, hard to think the price is very flexible. I suppose you never know, but it's a long way for what could be nothing. I need to keep saving pennies so I can get the bike budget up.

I'd say overpriced by at least $100 - and I just sold an upgraded Grand Prix for $200.

Guvna, thank you! I just picked it up! And I got away for only $80.
The paint is badly chipped, and the components are badly scratched. Everything is in good working order except for the front rim, which has a bad flat spot. I plan to refurbish this and resell it. If I remember right, Columbus Tenex tubing is nice but not super high end. Is that right?
I rode it up and down the block. Seems very nice.

Dang, and to think I was gonna see about sending an email! 58cm may be a wee bit on the big side for me though.
I've been looking on this thread - it seems you have to be ready and able to act literally in seconds, seems like!
I tell myself, patience, young grasshopper....

FZ1Tom, you're in Springfield? I'm in Maplewood.
Do you want to buy the bike off me? I'm not attached to it.
And hey, look at that pink one that knoregs just posted. It's twice as much money, but it's in much better shape and worth the asking price. I love the color, too. But note the large size.

70's Ganna
If someone needs a bike like this, let me know and I'll take a look for you.
1970's 10 speed, 27 inch wheels, old low end campy shifters and derailleurs, NOT Reynolds or Columbus, material not known. Great for a fixed gear Nice frame about a 58cm chrome lugs need gone today. I have a seat for it just not pictured, older Avocet.
