Judging by a LOT of other bikes produced during the period (30's-50's) I would be inclined to say yes.,,,,BD

Wow really? what makes it so valuable? I cant see any defining characteristics that would make it valuable, including the fact that its missing a pedal, front brake doesn't work and its in need of an overhaul.

Judging by the number of bids many folks do not agree.

Act now! The green one sold for $10K, but this yellow one is only $100. He simply doesn't have time to deal with bids.

KonAaron Snake 02-17-12 08:36 AM

It was $500 a few days ago...maybe increasing the price will help sell it to wealthier people! After all, if it's more money, it has to be better.

reply to: g5bx8-2842677549@sale.craigslist.org [errors when replying to ads?]

this nashki sport is from the 90's i assume maybe even 80's. I think its a 56. This bike was a close friends and over the years ive had it and put a little money into it. The seat, new tires and tubes.uno seat post.... Bar tape...this bike shifts threw all 10 speeds smooth as can be.!!! I believe it has shmmano componints... This bike is very retro the green with pink writing really stands out and would make a very cool fixie if you should decide to switch it over.. Shoot me an offer or maybe if you have anything cool to trade i will take into concideration.. I ride a fuji feather and a track pro.. Im in no rush to sell this piece of SH#T.It looks cool and is a sweet addetion to my collection.. The price is what it is worth to me... And the new owner will realize this after he/she takes it for a spin or mounts it on his/her wall . I can send more pictures on request ..this picture is befor i installed the new seat post

We can see that you arent, and thats probably why folks arent "in a hurry' to take it off your hands either, good grief

ftfh

Also, if its so "sweet" &" adds to his collection", why is he selling the piece of SH#T?

"...and brakes that stop on a dime (no cables)................for $395"

So THAT's what those little round things welded onto the frame are for -- cables!! 'Splains why I ain't been stopping so good on my bike.

Poguemahone 02-20-12 03:27 PM

Just because some tool is trying to sell a bike like yours on the bay for 975$ doesn't make yours a bargain at 600$. Sheesh.

Well it might be worth $600 if it had $500 cash tucked into the seat post.

lostarchitect 02-20-12 04:26 PM

This idiot has been trying to sell this $350 BikesDirect bike for $750 for weeks. Now they dropped it to $650 because they're feeling generous. Oh, and they paid $900 for it (really?) and that included shipping (BD shipping is free). Sigh.

Oh, and "SCAMMERS NEED NOT CONTACT" them! What a crock.

It would need to be 610$ cash, as you would need to pay me for the effort taken to remove it.
