Greetings, all!

In the spirit of the recent thread about the dearth of 'bikes under $800-$1,000'; I offer these 2 bikes: 1) mid-70's Holdsworth "Professional", 53.5cm seat tube (c2t), 55.5 top tube. Campy NR derailleurs, shift levers & hubs. Sugino 'Mighty Victory' drillium cranks, Sugino seat post, Nitto stem/3ttt bars, MKS campy-clone pedals, Concor seat, new Conti tires, cables. bar wrap- totally ready to go, paint & decals are excellent. NOTE: original owner stored the bike in pieces for several years, and lost track of the original fork....replacement is a Tange cr-mo model, w/ sloping forged crown; closely matches original appearance & geometry. Currently on e-bay with a BIN of $600 + shipping- should a list member purchase the bike, I will charge them only $20 for shipping in CONUS. 2)late-70's ('78 or'79, I believe) 58cm (c2t) Peugeot PX-10.Only$5,000,shipped :)...seriously, this bike is all original except for the MKS 'Pro-Ace' pedals, and the 27" Super Champion rims. Exceptionally clean appearance (some cracks in brake lever hoods). Not yet on e-bay; $575 shipped in CONUS (pix available). I have also listed some 1st generation Dura-Ace cranks, some last-generation SunTour Superbe brake calipers, a very nice Turbo 'Special' saddle, and a Huret Duo-Par derailleur. All have reasonable BIN prices, shipping discount to list members. My seller handle is curmudgeon1957*. I would also like to thank all who replied to my "....stinking price guide" posting. A lot of thoughtful, well-worded replies (even though Dr. Hollenbeck called me a "wag"...my inner child is still reeling over that!). I hope we can all continue to 'agree to disagree'; for me, that is one of the things that makes this so much FUN!
