Raleigh Record CX
This was given to me today from the original owner who still had the owner’s manual and receipt! He bought it in November of 1990 for $229.

KHS Montana
Picked this up at goodwill the other day. Another subreddit help me narrow it down to 1990-1992 based on the shimano 100gs but I can’t really find much else. I can’t find anything from KHS with the top tube sloped down around those years. Anyone have any ideas?

1990 or 91 cannondale sm700 series 3.0 competition in chameleon black and lime splatter.
Serial# 52004901640
It's either a 90 or 91 and love this bike. Had one years ago and stolen from storage until. Got another one and I want a rear luggage rack and a kickstand. I have original paniers for it but need the original vintage rack..

Fuji Sunfire
So I picked this old Fuji frame up from my local bike co-op, I can't find anything about this model online and Fuji's archives only go back as far as 2006.
Can anyone shed some light on it?

Enik München
Hi guys, I have a steel road bike frame (from the 80s), that was repainted, but I remember it had "Enik" and "München" written on it. Do you know anything about the manufacturer?

Sirocco frame - Gilco tubes? Please help me identify
I got this sirocco frame for ONLY 60€. It feels super light and the tubes look like Gilco tubes but there is no sticker. Is there a way to be sure if it is Gilco tubing? And there is some kind of heart underneath the BB shell, does that indicate something?
Another question I have would be if anyone knows something about the brand sirocco? All I could find out was that it seems to be a brand from the Netherlands. Do they maker good frames? And there's a name on the top tube of some previous owner but he seems to be a private person and no racer.
And there are some kind of serial numbers on the lugs, is that normal?
Thank you for every response, I look forward to finding out something about this nice frame!

What year is this Peugeot Triathlon?
I can't remember what year I bought it, but I know it was between 1985 and 1988. The number on the frame is Y712 10960.
All the parts on it are original Shimano. I don't think I ever rode it after 1990. Nothing has been changed but the seat, handlebar tape and pedals. I'm going to attempt to sell it. According to my bike mechanic, the Shimano set is in excellent condition. Picking it up again after all these years, I'm blown away by how light it is. Like a feather. Especially as compared to my ebike! :-)
Any idea what it's worth? Will need new tires and a tune-up. It's a size Small. I'd have to figure out how to do a centimeter measurement.
