When I bought my Motobecane back in 1974, the Fuji titanium alloy frame
ALONE was selling for $1,200!!! Wouldn't I love to find one of those in a
thrift store. I did see a Bridgestone in a thrift store recently without
wheels for $40. It was gone before the day was over.

I have an opportunity to buy a 1987 Peugeot Versailles for $95 that needs
some work. Maybe, just maybe...
