Trying to find a value for my old road bike.
Very small Canadian custom frame builder from the eighties.
Mine is a 56 cm Proctor road bike. It was sold to me as a Reynolds 753 frame way back in the second half of the eighties (87?)
Here is a link to the Bike Forums thread.
Help With Valuation? Proctor 753

I didn't see "cyclists keep right" anywhere on that route. In fact, some of those sharrows were dead nuts in the center of the lane.

You should research the laws; from my standpoint, that cop was makin' it up as he went along...

Can you read the text on the bike site?

Wow, I wanted an Olmo at one time.

A Belgian amongst Italians. That Ridley almost doesn't belong there, even though I own one now. Are those yours?

These bike riders are such *******s. The first one was actually funny. They could have just moved on and get on with life. Nooooo, they have to stop and take pictures, ask for names, and all the bs cause trouble. People makes mistakes, accidents happens. If you don't like it, get off the road. I get that crap all the time, where drivers makes mistakes. Just be careful next time. If cyclist should b!tch, they should b!tch about bus drivers. They don't because bus drivers, cops, bus companies just don't give a crap.

Years ago I found one abandoned in a State Park. Actually a ranger found it and was ready to dispose it in a dumpster. After I quickly inquired, it was mine

Friend brought her bike over. She rides it everywhere, and is utterly non-mechanical. Nice old Univega tourer. I degreased and pressure washed it, repacked and adjusted loose front hub, trued and tensioned front wheel, straightened bent derailleur hanger and adjusted rear derailleur (it was shifting into the spoke protector and failing to get smallest cog), replaced front brake pads, lubed everything, rewrapped bars, installed Velox rubber bar end plugs, replaced her ripped saddle w/ one I had sitting around, lubed chain, greased seatpost and stem. Took 2 hours, cost $22. Made me feel good! Karma stuff.

[Joe Bob]

Yeah, but was she a hottie?
