Not a wacky bike, but I find it interesting that over a period of two weeks or so, that this Team Fuji's description has changed from Near Mint, to Excellent, to Mint Condition.
Also note how the price rose for a while and then started to drop every other day or so.
Interestingly, on the March 13th it was described as aluminum.

Had an email exchange with a woman selling some "older Raleigh and Murray bicycles." She had not posted pics and I asked if she had any. She replied -- in an email to me -- "Sure, send me ur email address."
I just sent the same address she had emailed asking for my email back. No use making any other comments.

Please don't try and sell this person any stolen bikes. Is somebody who steals bikes really going to worry?

"No junk or parts bikes"
Most bikes are junk/parts bikes after the average person neglects it for a few years. If it hasn't been ridden in a decade the only thing that separates a "good bike" from a junk/parts bike is how many pieces have fallen off it and are missing.
"higher end brands, any make or model"
WTF? isn't that a contradiction? Why don't they just say something like "bike shop bikes only -no department-store junk BSO's"
this person is obviously wrench-averse. Methinks he/she is going to get an education pretty quickly

Nothing too wacky about this... other than the price.
This has been up on the local CL off and on for almost a year.
