Thanks for taking the time out of your day to look at my post..... don't ask if the item is still available, if its still up it is.....I have more then one item online so please don't just text me if your not going to be specific because i wont respond .....I'm PJ, the best & fastest way to get a response is to text me- (323)632-5404

I buy & sell bicycles, and have researched all of them. My prices are also researched and are already discounted but are negotiable. I do not accept paypal, checks, moneygrams and money transfers and I can't hold it anything. I don't deal wIth third parties.

2.8 aluminum frame .....nothing is stock on this bike it has rex x carbon fiber rims & carbon fiber fork.....3 cup holders.....custom handle bars & has working brakes & gears

Nothing on the bike is stock

Plz don't low ballers I know how much the bike is worth I could part it out for @ least 3000 $ on the low end ..... I could get 500-899$ for the rims..... Don't believe me go to ebay 899 $ buy it now
Anyones Cannondale recently stolen?

Hmm, restored means new paint and new tires? Oh well, the bent fork and loose chain make up for the bad paint job.,,,,BD

Kind of odd, but I am getting an extreme Jamis meets 2009 Raleigh Clubman vibe from these bikes, and I like it! The rear drops look pretty hot too IMHO.,,,,BD

Yeah, they're a nice looking bike. Looking for a tourer for a friend. I was going to email the guy in that ad, until I saw his 'offers to $1100' bit.

The 2013 and 14 Elans make me want to trade in my Kona Sutra.

[h=2]Greg Lemond Autographed Bike - $1500[/h]https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bik/4351047923.html

Does a LeMond autograph really mean this guy gets to charge over 2x MSRP ($699 in 2003 https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...351047923.html) for this never-ridden Nevada City? Somehow I doubt it.

Perhaps manufacturers should market 30" wheels for bikes that large. The vertical frame tubes could shrink a bit then.

Yeah, the person doesn't really know what they're talking about. But $350 would be a good deal on a Voyageur here in Portland.
