Yes, the current owner seems like a very charming seller.
Straight forward about all but the price.

Large Motobecane Grand Jubilee, $100, Columbus Ohio

I just bought one of these, except with a bunch of Campy nuovo Record parts, and was checking listings to see approximate value- this one looks very promising for someone with long legs.




Late seventies Motobecane Grand Jubilee. Reynolds 531, Suntour Cyclone, very cool paint job and Nervex lugs

Cannondale T1000, $300

(edit) Hmm..and just like that, since it didn't sell for $300, raised price to $425.

This bike has been listed for at least 3yrs. I vaguely remember reaching out to the seller when I was looking at Canadian bikes. Appears it's for sale, but not for sale.

Great Park Tools workstand, wheel-truing stand, miscellaneous parts and bike specific tools. Everything is in great shape - I was the neighborhood bike-guy during the pandemic but am ready to move on. Random parts include a bleed-kit for hydraulic brakes, tubes and more. I'd like to see $250 but feel free to make me an offer!

I messaged the seller out of curiosity. She was very accommodating, and was willing to ship (only $65 to San Diego which isn't bad imo). She says the forks are new and "....a mix of sizes. BMX, 24, 26, 27 and MTB."

I wonder who the maker is? I see "Made in Japan" on a couple of them.

Anyway, just posting this info in case anyone is interested.

1984 Fuji Club, I think it's overpriced, condition seems to be on the lower side, despite what the seller said. It will need some work, I think the price is closer to $250? I have this exact bike model, it is a good bike, but seems a tad rougher than mine. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...f-4c0f1a4a8846

Granted, the 400 was a "middling" model, but still a quasi-screamin' deal on a lugged fastback that looks mostly original. Just down the road from its birthplace. Too small for me, and would not return enough on a flip to warrant the drive/price.

Those appear to be one piece assemblies like old school tricycle bars that were held in place with a set screw/bolt.

Below even BSO.

I can only imagine the current owner put together the fugly build in order to avoid a bike-jacking here in Oakland, but...

damn is it ugly. If the ad is to believed the price isn't bad. The weight isn't too far off from a 753r frame. Very nice.
