Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Craigslist/eBay part deux.

I'm mainly a lurker around here, but I must agree with some of the other posters here that the mods do seem to not want people actually using this message board anymore.

I checked that thread just about every day, but I guess it pissed off a mod so it is no longer. Too bad. No wonder many of the intelligent users of this board that drew me in have decided to take their typing elsewhere.

Nice. Already off-topic.

well, if it's any consolation, it was pissing me off too. however, what pisses me off more, is when witless wonders pick one thing and harp on it continuously. the old thread didn't disappear, it was just locked, and unstuck. it was cumbersome, and like lotek said, 105 pages of complaining about prices being too high, and arguing about what other people choose to charge for their bikes is more than tiresome.

i still think one thread for all of the ebay/CL stuff is better than a million different threads for each item though, which is how it was before.

i don't post here much anymore because i'm tired of all the nitpicking/complaining and the repetition of questions/topics.

i'd do the buy it now on this if it was my size...

again, not Mercier...

nice lugs

ok, it's time for me to make a big confession. i still don't really understand what it means for a thread to be a sticky. obviously this is out of context, but there's nothing about it on the help page, so lemme just get it over with here.

it means the thread hangs at the top of the forum...

...just because people were talking about them back in the "shoes for clips" thread.

This thread sucks.

Next time you want something i will post it here so everyone can bid on it.

and you means everybody.

You're right. Suddenly this thread sucks.

You're right.

I know.

so let me get this straight...actual discussion on the discussion board is no longer allowed?

the funny thing is most other forums i look at are for software programs.. and the complaining is about the company hosting the forum... and they are more tolerant to complaining then on here..ah the mysteries of this place...

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/bik/96087765.html

heres a post to make it relevent.. but donnt buy that thing.. its more expensive then a new one... oh wait.. was that complaining?

This thread sucks.

How are you going to know what I want? How am I going to know what I absolutley MUST have when I don't spend all day on ebay without the help of junkies looking all day?

Don't you believe in capitalism? Are you a commie?

I doubt any of us could actually afford this, but I thought it was a pretty cool old bike, and I'm pretty sure it's a SS.

holy mother, that bike is amazing.... i don't see how you could own something like that and not ride it

Track bike in Minneapolis. They don't come up often around here. Price isn't great.

that price actually seems pretty good considering it's a complete, ready to roll, true track bike.

deda pista newton 120mm stem for sale in NYC. Thought I'd see if anyone wanted it for $80 cash before I put it on eBay. I got a new stem and I'm selling this one for what I paid for it. I'll even deliver it if I know how to get to you, otherwise Prospect Park or Manhattan pickup. List is like $170, usually goes for $130-140. Good shape, used for <1000miles. Mine doesn't include a shim, they can be had for cheap from Bikeworks, though. email me: robb.monn [[at]] gmail.com

oddly enough, i sold a similar olmo on here, i have a maruishi track bike now and also a 74 paramount. strange ebay synchronization.

just to clarify -- that maruishi is NOT njs or keirin certified.. the goon put '(not keirin, njs)' in the title so it'd show up in more searches. goon indeed. don't be fooled.

I don't think my bike has ever been inspected for the NJS seal of approval at a drunken alleycat.

True, true, my bad for the tone I took. I just find all the NJS-worship as of late a bit funny.
I'll take my thoughts about it to a more appropriate thread and return this one to the proper authorities.

from what i can see, it isn't a track frame. i see horizontal dropouts and single chainring on the inside of a double spider.

sometimes when you call someone a goon it's actually someone who posts here frequently...like me. the njs/keirin inclusion was an attempt at honesty and disclosure, not more hits. when most people hear japanese track bike they think keirin, so i was attempting to clarify. thanks for all of your insight though.

you know, i'm starting to kind of hate this thread, too. it's just bad news to see a bike that i'm stoked on bidding on get even more attention, ie more bidders. not like it's difficult to search ebay>sporting goods>cycling>"track", but it's still a bummer.

so, any guesses for how much that paramount will go for? keep in mind it includes campy seatpost + headset + crankset + bb and more.

What do you guys think of this?

That reminds me - That Maruishi used to belong to me, but it was far too small. I sold the frame to iamjberube, who is a very normal person indeed.

Here is how it looked a long time ago - very sexy.

I got it off craigslist 3 years ago from some nice guy in the west village.
