I've been tempted to call on this one. If it were real, it wouldn't still be available? Too good to be true?

Doh! I didn't read the note beneath the picture until now. I'm sure the guy is totally PO'd that some "friend" would commit such an atrocious act...

Good grief! What figure of speech, pray tell?

I made the fatal flaw of saying they should be "shot in the head", not knowing they were on the edge already. It was taken completely literal, like I was threateniing to physically come to their home and shoot them for styling a bicycle in a completely destructive manner. She also said Falcons were not rare or collectible, probably her carbon peddling LBS's doing. "Oh that old thing, it's a piece of junk?" I will pick my words more carefully next time for sure, until I know who I am dealing with. She was dishing it out pretty well though, going on a rant about the vulgarity of the internet, and how low of an individual I was, etc. It was like throwing a match into a fireworks stand, that's as close I could come to explaining the effect.,,,,BD

1998 Specialized Hard Rock Mountain Bike - Needs MAJOR Work!!! - $50 (Chappaqua)

http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/bik/2974376849.html
Date: 2012-04-23, 11:54AM EDT
Reply to: mhsnt-2974376849@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads? (http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/replying_to_posts)]


I'm selling this 1998 Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike I purchased brand new in 1998. The price is $50, firm. This bike has served me well over the years. Unfortunately, I have a very small living space so I had to leave the bike outside for the last 2 years. With the exposure to the weather and elements this bike has deteriorated significantly and now requires major work to get it into riding condition. Everything on the bike is original. However, most of the working parts will have to be replaced. This is an excellent bike for someone who likes to work on bikes and knows what they are doing. I don't know much about bikes so I wouldn't know where to begin with all the repairs it needs. The bike has a 23" frame which is most suitable for someone who's 6' 2" or taller. I'm 6'4" and this was a perfect size for me.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about the bike. As far as some of the major work needed is concerned I've listed them here for your reference:

1. Chain is completely rusted. Mostly likely requires new chain.
2. Gears are close to being completely useless. This bike has 21 gears but the last time I rode it (like 6 months ago) only like 7 of the gears worked.
3. Gear apparatus on the rear wheel and pedals have rusted. Looks salvageable though.
4. The brakes are the original and will most likely have to be replaced.
5. Tires are flat but there are no holes. Just that I haven't ridden it in a long time and I don't have a pump anymore.

[B]"...This bike has 21 gears but the last time I rode it (like 6 months ago) only like 7 of the gears worked.

Yeah, but like, which ones? Like, that might matter, like, to someone riding in, like, certain environments, you know?

Like you missed one, dude. But like, I got your back. :thumb:

Well, apparently, it could be any combination adding up to "seven". Seven is the critical number, but you must first take in consideration the alignment of the planets. The buyer should also to do a tarot reading to determine the chances of reaching a ripe old age prior to riding the bike, since it apparently doesn't have functioning brakes. Wonder what that seller will spend the $50 on :lol:

:fred: Can I beat this person with a Silca frame pump?

Falcon Re-Painted Road Bike - $100 (Onalaska, WI) (http://lacrosse.craigslist.org/bik/2947259062.html)

"I spray painted this old Falcon bike a sky blue with some hints of lavender. There are some white clouds as well. The rims are spray painted blaze orange to ensure visibility on the road. Brand new seat, tires, back breaker pads, handle bar wrap, and chain. I am 5'4" an it is too tall for me. I have to stand on a curb to get in it. I paid $60 for the tires, $12 for the handle bar wrap and $25 for the seat. Plus spray paint, which isn't that much."

F.B. ... permission granted!

This thread cracks me up.
.

Fast, rims perfectly true, rides great...but don't ride it... 'cause it got the "death fork"...great gift for someone you have taken out a large life insurance policy on. Only $800 for a bike you can't ride 'cause you'll get killed on it. Like buying a vintage '72 Chevy Vega for $25,000 'cause it got "that lousey 4 cylinder aluminum block engine".

Old Ass red bike - $165 (Elkhart)

I got an old ass red bike. It's got one speed. It's got those old brakes where you push backwards to stop, so if you like to swing the pedals backwards when you go down a hill and pretend like you're flying, keep looking. This ain't the bike for you. It's got stock rims (or spokes, whatever, I don't care...), stock seat, stock handlebars. This bike is for riding around town looking like a badass. It's slow and handles like a boat on gravel. So if you're one of those health nut-types that likes to ride a bike through the woods and up hills and junk, keep looking. This bike ain't for you. I have no idea how tall it is, and I don't care, so I'm not going to measure that for you. It's big enough for a man. I'm 5'9" and I rode it. If you're somewhere between 4'11" and 7'2" I think you can ride this bike. If nothing else, it would look hilarious, and that alone is worth the price. The price, by the way, is non-negotiable. I just don't feel like negotiating, so I'm not going to do it. If you want to trade, I'll entertain offers, but mention it beforehand.

You can email me or text me, or I guess call me if you don't know how to do either of those. I prefer you don't, though. So please don't call me. Nothing personal, I just don't want to talk to you. Email in the link above, phone number is (5seven4)8four9-five9seven0. That's annoying, but apparently we're supposed to type out the words in place of numbers now. I see a lot of people doing that.

Okay, here's a picture:

Price $700

"no brakes."

The bike with it's own theme song...

For $700 it includes a $2 million term life insurance policy from New York Life.

Saw this on CL this morning:
http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/2976844398.html

I had the 87 version of this bike for a couple weeks. I sold it because an emergency came up. My wife got the US Express which we kept.
It was such an amazing experience, being able to hop curbs, cut across fields, everything I wished I could do on a road bike.

Edit: OK I'm an idiot, posted to the right forum

I guess no one told walmart about the UCI weight limits. I laughed at this ad "trice".

I bet those were all the parts they could steal from any bike left at Fresno State on a particular evening... or he is selling the parts out of someone else's living room? Who takes a picture through a window??

Go on you tube and check out the skidders... They hang out over the front wheel and go for distance.

It looks like he has a basket case. Dis-assembled and forgotten.

Dis-assembled and forgotten.

I don't know... who disassembles a Wal-Mart bike except to remove those parts which are locked to a bike rack? The bicycle theft rate in this area supports my theory...

This is a modified men's Next Mountain Bike. I wanted to make this as durable as possible, so I stripped all the gears and brakes, and installed a shimano coaster/backpedal brake. I also replaced the plastic pedals with nice magnesium alloy ones, and repainted it. Its a lot of fun, the mechanics are simple, it's dead quiet, and there's basically nothing you can do to break it. Wheels are 26".

The paint is scratched, and the seat is falling apart.

Asking $65, O.B.O.

Please call or text with questions at 559-492-8103.
Forgive the Wal-Mart hate here, but... really? A modified NEXT? Nothing you can do to break it except ride it, since it's a NEXT.

It's a legit bit of bicycle history from the '80s. See http://ronsalenaxblog.blogspot.com/

I remember seeing write ups on these.

Somewhere at some time someone has raced a mixte but I would not call one a "Road Racer"

Seat can be raised and lowered quite a bit.
Campagnolo brakes, derailers, and forks.
Also have original Campagnolo bike pump.
Barely used Continental tires on Mavic rims.
Recently had bars re-taped, as well as bike serviced and greased with Campagnolo grease,
I'll include the rest of the bottle.
Also have an extra set of rims, one's a Mavic, the other an Ambrosia Synthesis.
Tires on the extra set need to be replaced.
Look clip in pedals, and Performance clip in shoes size 11.
GREAT BIKE! Only selling because I don't have the time to ride it anymore.

Only negative is the small chunk of foam missing from the seat. You can see it in the picture.
