Looking for a used road bike - with gears, but like everyone else, I don't want to drop a grand plus on a new one. Anyone got anything they want to get rid of? Craigslist hasn't been panning out for me so far.
Requirements:
- Steel frame preferred, but not absolutey required
- campy or tiagra+ stuff
- I'm cool with the older stuff. Drop tube shifter late 80s or 90s era is cool with me. If you've got something newer with integrated shifters, bonus!
- 54cm - 56cm
I don't want to spend more than $500. I need to drop like 30lbs so I'm not concerned about shaving off ounces with high end racing gear. Just give me something that isn't gonna fall apart!

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.
My dad used to race back in the early 80s. I went home to SA and dug out his old Zullo criterium bike. I dusted it off, and found that it's built out with full 80's era Dura-Ace components and campy rims. It had been stored in the attic for two decades, but otherwise is in perfect condition. Wtf!
Taking it to EPP tomorrow for a tune up and a more modern wheelset. Fuck yeah.
He also sent me home with a bunch of old school tubular wheels/rims, which I don't think I'll ever have a use for (the kind that requires you to glue your tires on). If somebody has a need for them, holler at me.

... or does he hate them this week? I can never keep track.
http://austin.craigslist.org/forums/?all=N;forumID=95. He posts here too, occasionally, but not terribly often.
I believe anon-eth4n0l@craigslist.org will reach him.
He came and got em. He scored some old campy and dura ace hubs as well. I'm just glad someone could use them rather than have them rot in *my* attic another 20 years.
I did keep a couple to use to build up a new wheelset with so I could save some dough myself. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks. I sent him an email.
