WTB: Vintage bike ready to ride ~ 54cm
Hi, I am looking for a vintage bicycle (+/- 54cm frame) that is in good to mint condition and ready to ride. Preferably original, but custom builds would be cool too. I am looking for something made in the 80's to 90's ..... Bianchi's, Peugeot, but throw me anything you have!
I am based in Princeton, New Jersey but can happily meet in NYC (or surrounding area). I can pay for shipping if needed. Thanks! let's see what y'all got

I have a late 80s Cornelo with 8 speed Chorus if you're interested. Check out the cool fluted tubes similar to Colnago's Esa Mexico. Photos are from the summer (obviously not from today) when I built it up and took it for a test ride. It still doesnt have bar tape - it's a tiny bit bigger than I'd like so I havent been riding it. I have the proper Chorus 53/42 crankset, or a triple - what's on there is a Stronlight compact. The wheels are pretty bad (loose spokes, corroded nipples on the front) Mavic ceramics (mismatched) that I picked up on ebay but haven't dealt with yet - I have a nicer set of Chorus hubs with Mavic SUP CDs that I had built by Colorado Cyclist in the early 90s - they went with the group.
For what little info I have found on these: https://saarf.london/2013/02/19/how-...-fake-colnago/ (search in the page for Cornelo)

If you want to use this website to try to track down something specific and non-local, I'd place a WTB ad in the C&V (classic and vintage) for sale forum. That's where those bikes show up on a regular basis.

I've got a 52cm Miyata Triplecross and a 54cm Miyata 721A, both from 1990 and bone stock. The 721 is in incredible condition for its age, and I just put on brand new velo orange splash bar tape. looks great. if you're interested, pm me. I'm in brooklyn ny.

I´m probably too far away, Live in Sweden. But have a bike that i could consider selling, even though i really dont want to.
1999 Pinarello Stelvio 52cm, with full campagnolo record groups and wheels. I am original owner and had it built up for me when I was 40yrs old. Gearing is too high for me as i have aged and live in more hilly area now. ( in another thread, i am investigating how to lower gearing, but its expensive, have other bikes i ride now, and perhaps just better send it to home where it will be ridden and cared for )
Its in top condition, wheels are perfect, everything works like new. Not a whole lot of miles on it either. Probably about 10-15,000 kms. I think i could use a new chain and cassette, but it rides quiet and smooth as it is.
If you are interested, please message and I can send pictures to you.

PS. I would note that because of the non-aero levers and age, this bike is just old enough to participate in an Eroica event.

I have a late 80's/early 90s Colnago Master Piu that I would like to trade to someone with a taller frame. I will keep the delta brakes and the rest of the components and just do a frame swap if anyone is interested. Trying to get to 10 posts so I can post pics....how silly is this rule?
