Sorry about the crappy pix. If you'd like more, I can go back, just a couple blocks from my house. Price on the sticker was $159.99, but the sales guy said 20% off (don't know for how long).

60 CM Rivendell
Who doesn't need a big lavender bike?
This is Rivendell's top-of-the-line 650B lugged frameset made in Japan by Toyo Frame. The Saluki was later renamed as the A Homer Hilsen but is no longer available in the larger sizes for 650B. The AHH is still made by Toyo and sold only as made-to-order without cantilever brake mounts, selling for $2300 and complete for $3500 or more. The custom wheelset is handbuilt by Anthony King, proprietor of Longleaf Bicycles. The frame is custom finished in a stunning agapanthus purple color, simply dazzling in direct sunlight. Components and specifications are as follows:

Very good condition c.1983 Trek 760 racing bike, 58cm size.
This bike was hand assembled in WI when Trek was a 7 year old company, transitioning from a boutique frame builder to what it is today.
According to Sheldon Brown (RIP) and the catalog from vintage-trek.com, this bike is one of the world's finest examples of silver soldered Reynolds 531c (the c is for competition), with custom butted steel tubing throughout, including stays and fork, not just main tubes like cheaper bikes. The build quality and refinement put Italian bikes of the same era "to shame".
What I know is that it rides great and looks great, weighs in at 20.5 lbs as pictured complete with arty pedals and Brooks saddle, but is a size too large for me, so I am finally admitting to my 5'8"-ness and passing it on.
Currently setup as a single speed with a fixed / free flipflop hub, but easily converted back to the original 12 spd downtube shifters.
I purchased ~10 yrs ago and built the wheels, changed bars, and added saddle and copper shiny bits.
I assume the bike spent many years hanging in a garage as a spare bike, as I managed to put the first scratches on the brake levers by leaning it on a building for 1 minute for a pedestrian to brush against and knock it to the ground
always kept clean and out of the rain, primary use as sunny day commuter.
Original parts on bike:
-frame, fork, paint (except a few chips covered in Testors French Blue model paint to prevent rust) with NO dings or major scratches.
-Suntour Superbe crank
-Suntour Superbe brake levers (see scratches on one) with super cool lightening holes
-Suntour Superbe brakes w/ original pads (indication of limited miles!)
-Cinelli stem
New parts on bike:
-Aluminum hubs from Milwaukee Bicycle Co. laced to vintage Ambrosio tubular rims w/ new spokes and nipples.
-excellent Conti gatorskin tubular tires with little wear. If you haven't tried tubulars don't be afraid! They ride great, are durable, don't get pinch flats, and easy to change in the field.
-origin 8 moustache bars, shellaced cotton bar tape.
-Nitto crystal fellow seatpost
-Brooks B17 professional saddle just breaking in with a few hundred miles on it.
-Sogreni Danish art bike copper pedals with VO half clips
-Copper bell mounted to shifter boss, problem solver covers on bosses.
-new dura-ace brake cables
-copper plated bottle cage
This bike will come with a box of original and/or period appropriate parts in case you want to restore it or ride in a L'Eroica event:
-original Cinelli drop bars
-original Suntour Superbe shifters and derailleurs.
-original Avocet saddle (OK shape but not great)
-spare set of period appropriate wheels: front: early Dura-Ace hub,tubular Mavic rim, rear: Campagnolo low flange hub, clincher Rigida rim w/Regina corncob 6 spd freewheel.

Houston Galleria area.
not sure wth these are, but maybe worth a look? the paint colors looks 70s to me, and they both seem to be in good condition.

ross road bike
What say you BF? Is this a worthy frame at all?
Could this group potentially fit a schwinn prelude(mine has suntour components)?

If you want it for a parts donor for a Schwinn Prelude, most of the drivetrain should work. But...
- I'm guessing the brakes will be too long and the wheels & tires too big, depending on the Prelude year.
- Prelude was a 6 speed and this is a 5 so the rear hub will be a big narrow.
- It might look a little funny to have a late-80s bike with 1980-ish components, if that matters to you.

I'd say they are about equivalent. The Prelude will probably have a few more braze-on's (shifter bosses, RD cable stop) so to me the biggest differences would be the geometry and fit, then color and condition, then everyhing else.
This is a pretty good bike for the price even though it needs some TLC and updating.

Maybe nicer but also older, and late 80s Schwinns are much beloved while Ross is kind of obscure, especially this vintage. So there's a lot of stuff we don't know about it. Maybe one of our catalog oracles will weigh in.
