I really like this guys idea of a bike being pretty much stock.
1982 Peugeot Fixed Gear - $250 (i-25 & yale)
[HR][/HR] Date: 2013-01-15, 5:54PM MST
[email]chrmm-3548740723@sale.craigslist.org[SUP][?][/SUP] [HR][/HR] Selling my fixed gear. She has just been hanging out in my garage for quit some time now and its time to let her go.
The frame is rather large... 61cm I believe. Everything else is pretty much stock except for a new seat.
Please email if any questions or if you wanna give her a ride!
Thanks for looking!

Aside rom the chipped paint whats wrong with the chainstay? The sellers pics are pretty lousy, just showing the idler pulley and not the whole RD? weird.
Bunged up chainstay on an otherwise pretty nice Cannondale, makes it "less than excellent" shape, at least imo:

Center to center measurement is 26.5 inches
Crank size is 180mm
Shimono 600 components
Sun Mistral Rims

The frame does have some chips in the paint but this bike is in excellent shape. $200

Seller pulled the ad, I assume because someone reported the multiple issues with his listing. Looks like he sells primarily bike parts; surprised he made a mistake like this one.

+1. I believe most, if not all, C-dales have this "dent". I'd defer to someone more expert, but I didn't see anything odd there that I have not seen before...

Yep, that is correct. One indentation for chainring clearance, the outer one to prevent heelstrike.

Not a bad looking Marinoni, the decals are shot and the price of $900 is way too high but, hey, you can ask whatever price you want, right?
This is what I hate though: NOTE: Vento wheels and pedals NOT included with this bike!

"This bike was purchased in the 70's for 1600$, Still has original tires and wheels. Far less than a 100 miles on this bike Paint is in very good shape for all original bike of its age. Been hanging in garage for over 25 years. I have looked everywhere for a bike like this. This is the only one I have seen with this particular paint job (I've checked all nishiki forums and bike pictures). Must see to apreciate, Everything is in working condition but will need tires aired up maybe needs tubes. "
Aero brake levers, dark anodized rims and index shifting in the '70s? very cool.

Inkandsilver is this near you? I think there might be something nice hiding under that garish rasta nightmare.

I can understand that we certainly need more control over who is purchasing and using spray paint. Maybe a better more indepth background check with a waiting period and national registry of who is buying what colors and how much they are buying.

I would agree that $700-800 is not out of line for a Nishiki Altron very good condition. It looks like the bike has already been sold since the posting is deleted with no flags.

This really bugs me also when someone posts a pic of nice and and then says in the fine print that all of the stuff pictured is not include. I for one Flagg these adds as being missleading deceiptive under CL guidlines.

Edit: just got out the reading glasses and noticed Sun Tour 9000. That group is the same level as 600 IIRC - i.e. one step below Superbe/DuraAce
