Some 90’s bike, Anyone?

[TheGerd]

I am wondering If there may be any interest in some older bikes. Not looking for much, but would like a little for them.


This is a mid-90’s Jamis Diablo LE, chrome-moly frame 17” XT except front hub is LX. Raceface BB, Kooka chainrings, Thompson seatpost. Judy fork, I’m sure needs some lovin’. Clocks in around 24lbs. Syncros cranks XT V-brakes. I know all this stuff is dated, hoping someone may be a bit nostalgia for this era. 😄. I honestly think it’s worth $150.00, am I way off on this?


Next for your consideration is a late 90’s Cannondale R800 cad 3 full 105. It’s a 56cm. $200.00 seems ok to me, but I really have no clue.

Anyway, some input as to if there may be a market for these or is that a pipe dream, The Cannondale I‘ve been riding so it is in road worthy condition, the Jamis has sat for awhile. Thanks for looking.

@Fire Lord Jim has been accused of collecting vintage bikes, though these might be on the small side for him.

Incidentally, too big for me. Bikeforums has a robust C+V section, though you do need to pay for membership to post for sales.

Older bikes run a little small compared to today's standards?

I’m glad the Cdale is one size too small
For me or I would be explaining at home why that bike is in my basement on the trainer.

I recently donated an old Trek to Second Life Bikes and it was a wonderful feeling. I hope to donate more.
Fill out a donation form too and its a deduction.

Seem like very fair prices to me.

I'm interested in the road bike. I'm 5'9". Is this too big for me? I don't know anything about road sizes

It might be a touch big, I’m 5’11”. You may want to check a sizing chart though. The bikes are in the Woodbridge area too, I forgot to mention that.

Looking at the quill stem and crazy setback on the seatpost, there is probably room to work with.

a straight seatpost and quill-to-threadless adapter would provide options.
Swap for correctly sized, modern drop bars too -

prices seem in-range if the post/pedals/stem are not frozen in place, and the shifting works.

good luck to both -

Lol- like you need more😵😆

 

[Fire Lord Jim]

Thank @Karate Monkey. The Cannondale is my size. Do I need a fourth road bike?. My buddy Justin wants the Jamis.
I will tell you that the Bike Exchange sells bikes like this all the time, and your prices are in line with ours.

Great, I replied to your message.

 

[onetracker]

If the Jamis deal falls through, I have a buddy who is interested.

 

[Karate Monkey]

Whoever buys the C-dale, I have a set of replacement ferrules for the spoke nipples in the rim if you ever break one. Looks too clean for that to be an issue, though.

 

[TheGerd]

The Jamis has been sold. The Cannondale is still up for sale. If the 90’s aren’t your thing and you’re more of a big 80’s person, I do have a Schwinn Traveler too.

 

[TheGerd]

The Jamis and the Cannondale have new homes, got them both sold. The big 80’s Schwinn Traveler is still around.

 

[Morrisd]

I really have to check in more often. Like before Justin Markashevsky does! Lol.

 

[qclabrat]

Wow, I would have bought the Jamis. Those cranks are 3 bills alone.
