Oh yeah. Not stupid, but wacky.

Late 1970s Raleigh Grand Prix - the guy won't accept anything less than $340 for the bottom-of-the-line 30-pounder Raleigh road bike made at a time the Raleigh company was desperate to cut costs (and quality). AND it seems to be missing some decals or it's been partially repainted, so even for a cheap-ass bike collector like me this one's hardly worth $50 for parts. I'm guessing that one's going to be around for a while.

And he calls it a leather saddle, and it's obviously vinyl. What, he thinks that Brooks means leather?

This guy didn't miss a THING.

Is it just me or has this bike had a run in with something very solid?

(could just be a bad picture, I'm no expert)

Yes, that bike is toast.

I was thinking the same thing before I read your text. something looks odd on the TT and a chrome fork on a bike like that is usually a replacement

I did not think people in nashville knew what a penny Farthing was

Yet another Raleigh Grand Prix going for at least twice what it's worth to even a dumbass like me who loves underdogs like the Grand Prix:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...919267763.html

The thing that pisses me off about such a thing is that I might be tempted if it was offered at half what the guy is asking, but at that price it's just going to expire and the guy (who, let's face it, only wants it for the money he thinks he can get for it) is either going to let it rust for another decade or throw it in the trash. Ah well, I guess if stuff like this gets trashed it will eventually make my cute little Grand Prix worth more - not that I'm going to part with it. Still, it's a pity.

That's a phenomenon that doesn't only involve vintage bicycles. A local mental case had a Plymouth Road Runner Superbird in his yard for years -- decades actually. He refused every reasonable offer for the car, usually by cursing out the potential buyer, and accusing him of trying to steal the car. Eventually, Mr. Mental dropped dead, and the car was pulled out of the backyard mud hole....pulled out in pieces, it was more rusty than the Titanic at that stage, and looked to be in worse shape.

That kind of store breaks my Mopar heart.:cry:

Is that a dig on southerners?

I don't feel it is. In NC it's very likely true.

It's not very likely that someone who didn't know what a Penny Farthing was, would own one? Unless of course by accident.,,,,BD:D

Mine too. As a kid, there was a Superbird down the street. You could hear it a mile away, when it was opened up.,,,,BD

I do drive a 86 Ramcharger though. It's a little like a Charger with dry storage;).,,,,BD

I remember back when I was around 19, I saw what was left of a Cale Yarborough Special in a junkyard. I never wanted to rescue a car more. It was a rolling chassis though, and at that age I had neither the time nor the money to do it justice. I can only hope someone did the right thing.,,,,BD

Too Funny
 

I just snorted coffee out of my nose. I want that job...

I don't get the fixie fad anyway (sorry fixie fans), so I am always amused by the extra $200 that sellers charge, presumably for doing the buyer the favour of removing all the pesky components that have evolved to a high state of efficiency and usefulness over the last 120 years. I especially enjoy reading of the experiences of fixie fans who insist on riding them in hilly or mountainous regions that fixies are completely unsuited for.

And okay, I get the 'simplicity' argument. There is something to be said for getting back to basics and enjoying what's truly essential about a bicycle. But I just don't see the point in riding it in the real world, where hills and cars make gears and brakes necessary.
