It's funny...and its true!

No wonder I'm not getting any. The chicks can smell a $10 Miche bottom bracket a mile away.

theres a whole thread devoted to craigslist and ebay. its a sticky at the top of the page. throw this up in there. somebody even posted that ad there too.

f***ing great.

and i also have a set of great nashbar calipers for sale if anyone's interested god damn it.

i bought that campy BB.

also they removed the pictures of the BB and kate winslet, that's what tied it all together.

seriously though, somebody buy these so i can move on and get some new ones.

(they flagged and removed the first 5 ads, btw)

you should have known that any creativity is a clear violation of the dc cl terms of service

i think it was more along the lines of accident victims being offended at my descriptions of what might happen to you if you don't purchase my brakes.

i also tried posting one completely in l33t speak, but they didn't like that one either.

And...?? Does it work? Or was that just false advertising?

Interesting. I've always assumed that the poster of that ad was on this forum... wnatw are you the same person who had the porch cleaning sale a while back? Wrong? Right? Delusional? Perhaps.

Wrong. I've never had a porch cleaning sale.

Another ad will be appearing soon for an entire bike... I'm thinking of typing up something connecting it to the fall of Rome, with pic goodness.

dude, if you're gonna keep doing this i think you should have your own thread here or on dcfixed or both. nobody takes pride in their work anymore (says the guy being paid to read bikeforums)

And...?? Does it work? Or was that just false advertising?

its still in the box i'm debating what frame to stick it in.

delusional indeed

would that my job be as chill... unfortunately i think the ITs here suspect something and i'm constantly clearing my history before logging off at night.

all of this CL crap was borne of one horribly miscalculated parts order from Nashbar, now over two months ago. I sold the BB to ryand who then apparently passed it onto Spud, I NEED TO SELL THESE CALIPERS SOMEONE BUY THEM, and finally my roomate is trying to sell a bike that he built up over the winter. after that, i've got nothing more to offer except a smile.

i was picking it up FOR spud. he lives in virginia, so i picked it up. :)

my bad, sir. but speaking of "picking up", i saw that drunk lady the very next day. she called me "honey" and winked at me. it made me feel all warm inside.

she was awesome.

who stops for red lights? what a joke.

those who ride down 18th st during rush hour probably should.

in fact, i seem to remember a thread... ah, here:

pics please or I'll be unable to finish...

haha, tink! he does have a brake though.

edit: in response to wnatw's post.

i fail to see what i'm supposed to apparently, aside from person on a bike stopped in the middle of the street, it seems like the right of the bus is all clear. i don't get it.

thus are we to understand that you never stop for traffic? ever? this is a yes/no.

if i need a break i do, otherwise it's not likely. no. to answer your question in yes/no..yes, i do stop for traffic. but seeing what i see in that picture, i would not have.

youre supposed to notice how hardcore he is for riding his bike instead of putting it on the front racks of the bus pictured.

that i did notice. props for that

i don't even know who this tinks person is, only that we share that stretch of our commute. it isn't even the cars that make it so bad... it's the ****ing jaywalkers.

i'm usually on a blue iro (jamie roy, with a rack and fenders soon) or a black road conversion. feel free to say hi if you see me. i'm john.
