Is this the same guy with the auction style sale?

No, he has it listed for $525.

I wish this was smaller and less expensive

I’m probably going to go look at this tomorrow unless one of you has bought it already…

The size totally works for me. The color and components are pretty rad. The price needs to drop a zero.

Fuji Ace circa 1989-90 for $99. Might be a good project bike

Nice. I like it, but not sure it’s the thing for me. Good luck.

I’m a little confused by this one:
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/bik/3817511605.html

It looks like a Trek 420 with flat bars, Late ’80s(?), Double butted lugged CroMo frame (maybe 20″) for $155.

What confuses me is the seller claims 27″ wheels with 700×23 tires.:confused:

He never got back to me after one round of back and forth. Forget it man, it’s just Craigslist…

Trek brochures suggest this is a 1990 with 700 C wheels. It would normally have drop bars with SunTour AccuShift indexed downtube shifters, but this has been replace by a flat bar and SunTour index mountain shifters.

While trolling Cragislist for who knows what I saw this: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/bik/3820106313.html. Now here is very, very pretty vintage racer. Look at those lugs! ShawnoftheDread should be your size no?

Purdy. But I already have a vintage road bike, even if it doesn’t have lugs. And this is too small — I’m used to bigger frames.
