Holy Jeebus! One more frame and the seat would be behind the axle, and it would be a unicycle!
Anyway- I see a Trek in there and a '80's Schwinn. Very much a waste of a couple of good frames.

This is only wacky 'cause no one has bought it yet. I know I saw this listed last summer, could have even been spring. Why this doesn't get picked up i HAVE NO IDEA.

And to think someone ruined a perfectly good Centurion - just for the sake of being "ironic", or to promote alternative lifestyles or some such thing.

Good luck selling this one. Dude just alienated 99% of his potential market. Including every single sports fan who didn't go to UT. Even after putting every unrelated keyword he could possibly come up with in the keyword spam section. Really- if I were looking for an Orbea, I wouldn't want to see his truing stand come up.

Please put UT longhorns rule in the title/ subject if you want a reply
I have vintage Park TS-2 wheel truing stand for sale.
I'm asking 150.00 firm and 160.00 if you make an offer or on my no fly list.
My no fly list This is a list of people that have at one time or another Pi$$ed me off.
Still looks and works good
I have it mounted on a MDF board with cutout slots for parts
I have several other items listed
I just don't have any more space no trades!!!
On out of town interest I may entertain it for a fee and shipping
This is a rare item and someone may appreciate it from another city or state or Florida
Whoever said there's no such thing as a dumb question never posted on craigslist. Here this may answer some questions you might have.
* Yes I'm the original owner I purchased this new when I was 2 years old back in 1964
* No to trades of any kind
* Everything works
* Yes I have other items for sale on CL
* Yes I'm the same guy that has 50 thousand items for sale on CL
* No I'm not a dealer or a repair shop
* Yes it's still available
* No I will not accept 100.00 dollars
* No I will not accept 125.00 dollars No offers or checks
* No I will not take a toaster oven or a VCR in trades
If I have to answer any of my listed questions above you probably will not get any response you'll just have to know I'll be laughing on the inside.
Thank you so much for looking

Now that I look at it on a real computer screen, it appears that the brakes might be early "No Record" Campy. A pair in nice condition just sold on Ebay the other day for > $400. Seat tube/stay lug looks interesting. Still overpriced, but...

I'm selling my ex wife's bicycle, she rode this bike almost everyday for most of the day. She's in a facility now and they won't allow her to have it, her doctors all say that her obsession with bicycling drove her to mental illness. Maybe your wife can enjoy this bicycle the way mine once did......There is a mile counter thingy on it and it reads 788,a bit high for a bicycle that's not even a year old..
