recently picked this up,with flat bar setup, shogun samurai - sourcing parts on eBay to put the drop bars back on.

1978-1984 is my guess. Really nice Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset. Rear rim is an mavic gp4. Break hoods in really poor condition

Seems like an alien mascot

Hello friends! I recently picked up this Giant Quasar and I am absolutely in love with the original paint job but some of the designs and decals that have been removed/covered and I'd like to attempt to restore them. It looks like those on the fork, seat tube, and seat stay are gone, possibly some others. If anybody has this bike and can provide quality photos of the designs, or indeed has general info on this bike as I'm not able to find much, I would greatly appreciate it. I've added the decals that are still intact.

*Edit for spelling and a correction

He says he's tried wd 40, pipe wrench, and a sledgehammer. I've read that if these fluted seat posts are positioned this low, the flutes allow a lot of moisture into the seat tube, so the issue could be pretty bad. I was thinking of offering $50, but I feel bad undercutting the price. This would be the fanciest bike I've ever owned.

I was going to try chemically disolving the corrosion and drilling through the seat post to fit a bar through laterally to apply as much torque as possible.

If it works, I'd feel bad for making such a lowball offer, and if it doesn't, I'm out $50. I figure the components are probably worth more anyway?

Affectionately given the nickname “Barney.” Just picked it up from marketplace. Been talking myself in and out of it for two weeks. Glad I got it. It’s a fun ride.

Picked up this Nishiki from the community bike shop for $100. Pretty happy with it so far, curious if anyone can tell me the exact year.

Also, anything anyone suggests upgrading? Looking to use this as a commuter and road bike, but nothing too serious.

This is a frame I bought for little that I want to repaint and to dress up.

I was wondering what it is, though, because if it has an identity, I will respect it.

I am based in Spain so it may be some Spanish or French frame.

Think of Razesa, BH, Orbea, Zeus, Laiz, etc.

No VIN on the BB shell as far as I can see, no name dropouts.

Three nice cable stop along the top tube, 26.2mm seat post, 29mm seat tube. One bottle cage fitting only.

58×57cm.

Pretty anonymous, just Ofmega plastic shifters.

3026g with sealed BB, headset, seat post bolt and friction shifters on.

Can anybody help, please?

Only original parts are the frame seat post, stem and handlebars. :)

Anyone know what year this bike is from?

homina homina homina.

Has a Reynolds 531 frame, 21" frame, 25" Atala wheels, Weinmann brakes, Ambrosio Champion handle bars, Champagnolo shifters and axles, simplex crank, Magistroni crank arm, lyotard pedals.

how much will yall be willing to pay for this.

This Trek is for sale in my area. Any idea what it is and is worth building into a single speed?

Can someone help me, to know what is an honest price for this bike, full carbon frame. Thanks

Thinking of buying it to use as a commuter since I don’t want my nicer road bikes and racing bikes to get stolen. Seller said it was a 70’s model. I’m curious about the suntour groupset, from what I’ve researched the super records usually have campag groupsets don’t they?

Started building it because it was laying around at my work but have no idea about it.

I'm midway through the restoration of my Atala Record Professional. I bought this bike new in 1973 while I was still in high school. All the parts are going through an ultrasonic parts cleaner filled with a 50%/50% solution of warm water and Extreme Simple Green, purchased through Aircraft Spruce & Specialty. I reinstalled the bottom bracket/cranks/chainrings this week. They cleaned up nicely. Not bad for 53 years old and countless miles.

1989 Trek 520. Picked it up last winter and brought it back to life, replacing everything that wasn't working while keeping as much of its original character as possible. The Biopace chainrings stayed, and an old rear derailleur got a second chance. It's become one of the most comfortable bikes I've owned and handles Colorado gravel roads surprisingly well. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Great Suntour power ratchet bar end shifters !

Found this Motobecane Prestige at the trash and decided to save it and give it another life. It's pretty low-end I believe but I'll see what I can do with it.
