Philly C-List, if its still there. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/bik/1739169340.html (http://go.bikeforums.net/?id=42X129555&url=http%3A%2F%2Fphiladelphia.craigslist.org%2Fbik%2F1739169340.html&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bikeforums.net%2Fshowthread.php%3F645065-Schwinn-Maddy-Philly-C-List)

Says in the listing that he won't ship. If you're not near Philly, you're SOL on that one!

ill buy it for you and ship it!...lol

That would work! 350 bucks is a good deal.

EDIT: After the vacation my wife planned to Dominican Republic! LMFAO

I WILL have one of those blue bikes, sooner or later.

I'm in Jersey BTW, so posting that ad was really wrong!

You NEED one. Here's a pic of mine, just to make you drool a bit:

Scrod, Did you remove or paint over the chrome that was on the bottom of the front fork or did yours come black?

^^^ think that's just the reflection playing tricks on you...

It's just the reflection.

Yeah, man...just a reflection. My fork is blue/chrome.

Here is one in Denver with quite a few upgrades.

I like how he lists some of the stuff that came stock on the bike as "upgrades". Also, I dig risers but those silly little bars have to go!

But it's a "super fast and really fun fixie!" What else do we need?

I know. There's yours and I think one other blue one in the pic thread. I cant stand light blue, but that bike is just ridiculous. I'd set it up just like yours white tires, etc but maybe bullhorns with white wrap....and a brake. lol

....and a brake. lol Look closely.

Yup, I've got a brake.

I've never really been fond of blue bikes either...until I saw the '08 Madison. Thanks for the compliment!

So after my "jackass question" im riding fixed for the first time if you dont know what im referring to look it up and get a lol in. Its ****ing SWWWEEEET funnest thing ive done in a long time riding fixed is way better then i ever imagined. I even picked up track standing in a matter of minutes, I guess skateboarding and being a muay thai fighter helped me with balance. But anyway I prob rode about 10 miles and was scared of it being very difficult but I didn't even need to touch my breaks once, maybe there being any cars on the road helped but maaaad fun.
