That bike priced at $1,500.00 actually was pretty similar. However the operative word is "priced". If the world worked like this, I would list a set of Dia Compe centerpull calipers at $500,000 on eBay, then sell another set at the bargain price of $250,000 on CL. Hey. Maybe I should try this.

Not really a numbskull, I just thought it was funny. I think the pic is the icing on the cake...
Actually, I kinda dig the bike (in a funk-o-matic cruiser sorta way).

If it's one of the originals from the 90's, that was actually MADE by Dyno, around $600+. I emailed this moron and let him know how badly he was shooting himself in the foot.,,,,BD

It takes some nerve to sell a bike when you say it's not even yours.
You can get similar bikes right now for a couple of hundred or so:

I just had to nominate an LBS. They have a not so clean 86ish white Schwinn Le Tour in True Temper 4130 on the sales floor. The tires are brand new, but they're blackwall low end Kenda 27's. The price, $239, reduced from $290. I just kinda shook my head.,,,,BD

Humorous Road Forum spoof of Bike Buying Guide (thanks to dannyg1 for the original text and inspiration):
Which also holds true for the Craigslist Seller's Mentality About Buyers:
-Kurt
I own four (company name)'s and think they're among the finest (country) has to offer. Beautifully built and well appointed, they're great whether ("construction type #1 or construction type #2"). They ride and are built very similarly to (other company)'s bikes, which is to say, beautifully. At $(price), I'd say it's a damn good buy.
I own four Magna's and think they're among the finest Taiwan has to offer. Beautifully built and well appointed, they're great whether electro-welded, or robot-built. They ride and are built very similarly to Huffy's bikes, which is to say, horribly. At $250, I'd say it's a damn good buy.

If someone asks to store something in your place for a couple weeks or so, then two or three months later you're still moving it around to find a place for your own stuff, it's time to get rid of it.

"I believe this bicycle was in high demand for racing i.e.Tour de France during the era it was built." Everyone in the Tour used stem shifters, kickstands and reflectors

This is it folks. The King of Bulls**t.
Suntour command shifters:
I quote "Also available in a 'special' FRICTION-ONLY version where any and all clicks of any sort have been eliminated ....allowing you to run ANY rear wheel you may desire with 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 or 10 cogs ! ....Rivendell riders really love this 'special click-less' version ! ....simply let me know that you wish to have "friction-only" and I will ship these to you upon your winning bid ...."
Will run not only a double or triple, but also a quadruple!?
Oh, and no picture.
HEE HEE!
