Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - For those looking for bikes.... Kansas City area

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I don't know anything more about this than what's here:
Passing this on for anyone who can use it.

I think I am supposed to be out of town, but I might see if I can drive the wife down there and get her a road bike. Thanks for the heads up.
I feel like a bicycle-pusher!!!

We drive to KC every winter for a party. It's only about 5.5 hours from us, but I just won't be able to get there.
Here's the Craigs List listing of bikes...

Man, I wish I was there too. Probably some good fixer uppers in the mix.
Well, if it makes you feel better, it looks like it's probably highly advertised. I'll bet all the good fixer-uppers will be gone in an hour.

Y'know, if the actual bikes change from day to day, I'll bet these bikes are for sale right now.

I know, but I'm 6 hrs away from KC!:( I'm looking locally though, and was just kidding in my previous post.

If you are seriously interested in a bike, send an email. They have some very good prices on some bikes. If we didn't just by two new bikes, we would be headed there to buy a few bikes.
I sent an email and the guy responded in less than 10 minutes with what was available for the size of person my wife was.

Yes, I got there at 8:05 and it was already super-crowded. I think someone who worked there took all the really good bikes because I could see a bunch of them roped off from the others: Fuji, Nikishi, Motobecane, etc.
I tried out a Bianchi for $60 but the fit wasn't quite right.
