I don't find it aesthetically pleasing, but the ad seems fairly descriptive. Are you just going for the bike being ridiculous, or am I missing something?

the thing with craigslist posts is that the link expires after a week or so and the LOL is lost because noone will know what you are talking about.....if you want to start one of these threads i suggest copy pasta the text into a post.

besides it being an ugly tarck bike i just think he is asking way too much for a used bike with basic components.

^^This, and the price were my point.

Not sure why this would get locked. I'm not insulting anyone here. Just wanted to highlight an advertisement for an overpriced bike. I suppose this thread could be a replacement for the JA thread, but without the personal attacks. You never know, the extra exposure might just help owner of this masterpiece sell it more quickly.
