BOBCFL: Fuji Touring Series V

Here's a rarer bird...  The 'Touring Series V' (aka 5) was Fuji's high end frame.  I am not as brushed up as I'd like to be on the whole fuji company history during the 80's, but I think they had their own manufacturing.  Regardless, the Fuji Professional (hi geoff) and this Series V were both spectacular examples of the great build quality/price ratio the Japanese were offering.  And an awesome price for this bike.

I'm sure the seller will have no issue with this sale.

\always makes me a little happier when i see a nice priced bike

I see your

mid grade big bike and raise you one higher end big bike... at least higher end in 1979....

An early example of a 68cm Univega Gran Turismo.  Rumored to be miyata built, so if thats true the frame is probably a twin sister of a 610...


rumors and hearsay are promoted at this blog...




and i have it on good authority that lance armstrong is a post op tranny when the cameras aren't around

BOBCFL: Italvega

 
Ugh this ad makes me sad.  OK cool, Italvega, I really like those bikes.  OK, it has orignal Campy parts, OK, it's 63cm.
BUT No details as to what campy group, the size of the wheels, cost $150 for thosewheels (what?), or any other indication to let us know any real details about that model.  Just for reference, $500 for a good condition Italvega is worth it hands down but this bike... mmm the lack of detail in the ad makes me doubt it's condition.

/or it could be a dream find, who knows?!

Wow this is a great build at a great price! Bi-plane Ritchey fork (1), Surly 2x2 hub, 987 canti's, and IT'S AN MB-1! Portland how I envy your craigslist.

BOBCFL: 1990's MB-1

Great deal on this baby.  Note the liberal application of stickers, worn down grips, and beat up fenders.  Instant street cred for a low low price!

BOBCFL: 1992 Bridgestone MB-1















Wow talk about a cool group.  It may not have the fancy bi-plane fork but there's no need, these bikes are awesome.  I'm sure that asking price ($450) is a little more than the seller expects to get in the dead of winter but about on par for that year's MB-1.

BOBCFL: 1980's Miyata Pro Track Frame

Well looky here! Looks to be mid 80's, in 9/10 condition, and simply beautiful.  Defiantly a covet machine.  Hope it finds a good home.

 
 And cuz I'm such a nice guy, I grabbed the nice high res shots that were in this ad

BOBCFL: 1983 Miyata Pro




Not much to say other than I covet the hell outta this bike and the people who fit on it. 

BOBCFL: 1983 Fuji America

Wow what a crankset!  That's a Sugino Mighty Tour... pretty rare and thus desirable!  @ $225 this thing is a steal!

Fuji:  One of the most underated of the early 80's.  They just chose the wrong direction (case in point: side pull's instead of canti's on their top tourer).

Here's that catalog page linked

BOBCFL: 1980's Miyata Pista in LA


One of my "dream bikes" but sadly none were produced in my size that I know of.  Looks to be in great condition so $700 is fair, especially with the grouppo
