  1. My neighbor showed me a bike that she has for sale for $100. It's a 1980
    Motobecane Super Touring Mixte that has NEVER BEEN RIDDEN since it was brought
    home from the store. Vitus double butted steel, Stronglight triple crank,
    Suntour VX deraileurs, Mafac brakes, immaculate paint, all original except the
    tires, even the braking surfaces are shiny. I really don't need another bike,
    especially another 27" wheel bike, but this one is so perfect it's hard to
    refuse. What could I do with it?

    I'll buy it.

    $200 and you pay shipping.

    Hi, on the same topic, I just talked to a guy who has a 80's Schwinn
    Peleton with Columbus tubing and Suntour components. He says the bike
    is in great shape and well maintained. Also claimed that it weighs
    about 16 lbs, I doubt that. He is riding a recumbent now, back
    problems. I haven't seen the bike, my guess is the frame size would be
    in the 54 -56 range. The owner of one of our LBSs told him that it
    isn't worth anything, because it has down tube shifters. I don't need
    and can't afford another bike, but I would like to give the guy some
    decent info, on its value.
    Any info, will be appreciated.

    Life is Good!
    Jeff

    If you can't bring yourself to ride it, then sell it on eBay; I'll bet
    you'd beat $100 for it.
