Lean back before you get to the little drop off about 20 blocks ahead.

CliffordK

That is a pretty unique rear rack.

I think it must be $1600 for the "paper rack", and $100 for the rest of the bike.

bikecrate

Maybe the "small terror" referred to is the baby they just had, which is the reason the bike is being sold in the first place.

Swedish Crescent 10-speed:


Needs work but only $2,500! $400 less than the one at Budget Bicycle Center (referenced in the ad).

ksryder

I came here specifically to post this ad. Nothing like $2500 for a sissy lever, dork disk (and most likely gaspipe) boom bike!

It must be an emotional rollercoaster for the seller of bikes like this. I'm sure the guy or gal has no idea about bikes and values so they go on ebay to try to get a ballpark figure and HOLY COW MY BIKE IS WORTH $3000 JACKPOT!!! Then flash forward to 30 emails informing them that the bike is actually worth a tiny fraction of that price. It must be demoralizing.

CliffordK

That Swedish Brake Cable Routing must be worth something????

It is hard to tell about that bike without seeing it. Crescent apparently did make some nice Reynolds 531 frames. But those components certainly are the dregs.

ksryder

Yeah, my initial reaction is always "are you on drugs?" but upon further reflection I just feel kind of bad for them.

However my experience in the midwest is that these people will take these items to the grave, rather than accept one red nickel less than they think it's worth.

Getting a strong parts bin bike vibe from this dog- Woof! I bet the "new tires" came with a new 36 spoke wheelset from a Magna.

It's because so many Scots-Irish settled in the Midwest. We have short arms and deep pockets. I prefer the term "thrifty" but cheap probably describes us best.

CliffordK

That is what I need...
A modern "Walker"

But... for those gym rats... Here is a new way to get out of the gym.

like new ElliptiGO 8C - $2000 (Springfield)

Raleigh Grand Prix - Misplace? or Stolen?\
Some guys are passionate about their bikes, especially when they get stolen...

exmechanic89

That's pretty funny alright. But 'Glidecycle' wins my award as it (only) cost $1750 new. Vs ElliptiGO's $2k used price, lol.

I'm selling one of my weirder possessions, a Skate Bike from the 1980's.
It's not quite a unicycle, or a skateboard, but a trippy mix of the two!
These things are incredibly rare, and are a great addition to anyone's garage/collection.
It is rideable, and the tire holds air just fine. The front truck could use replaced for easier steering.
I'm asking $60 OBO. Thanks for looking!

FlatSix911

wtf ...

exmechanic89

You should check out some of the vids on youtube of people 'riding' them, lol.

RubeRad

Looks like somebody actually made one of these

Plenty of profanity, but I can relate;

best of craigslist: Have you yelled at a stoned guy on a pink recumbent bike?

Kactus

What an ass. I wonder how angry he'd be when he isn't stoned?

seedsbelize 

I bet you get a lot of that too. Cool bike, btw.

Johnny Mullet

Paint it black and everything will change

MrK.

How bout an Avengers duck tape covered bike for $1600.


Road Bike Custom Steel Frame 60" 'The Avengers' | eBay

FlatSix911

Wow, can you say Anger Management ...

Have you yelled at a stoned guy on a pink recumbent bike? If so, shut the **** up.

There are quite a few dickheads like you out there who have nothing better to do than yell **** at me when I'm riding my bike, and I would appreciate it if you stopped.

I hate living in Seaside. This ****ty little tourist trap of a town gets on my nerves like no other, and I've been stuck here for over a year. I get high and ride my bike because it's a catharsis; I'm trying to get away from you ****s.

You know exactly who you are: drunkards, old people, poseurs, skanks, yuppies, white trash, children of drunken white trash or yuppies, etc. You come here from Portland, which is a beautiful city, to see the beach. Once you're here, you realize that the beach is where dirt meets water, so you get bored and do things like blow money on overpriced crap from local merchants who make their fortunes by selling, well, overpriced crap to idiot tourists, and/or you get drunk at one of the many bars downtown. After you blow all your money on useless **** or alcoholic beverages, you look for someone different from you to **** with, because that's what makes this country great.

My bike, which is a 2001 BikeE CT with a red anodized aluminum frame which you ******* think is pink for some reason, is certainly different.



It looks a little different, therefore we must YELL AT THE PERSON RIDING IT INCESSANTLY!

You idiots yell at me at least 5-10 times a day, depending upon what time of day I go riding. You'd think that, given the sheer number of times per day I'm yelled at, there would be a little variation in the dialogue, but there's not. People typically only yell at me to slow down/watch out, or to tell me that I have a nice bike.

Guess what, dip****s. I know I'm going fast. You don't need to tell me. If I crash, I'm going to get hurt.Thus, instinct dictates that I avoid it. If you really want to avoid an accident, perhaps you should get the **** out of the way rather than tell me my business. Do you know why I go 40mph down the promenade? Because I'm able to do it safely. The only threat to my safety is you: the heroic town criers that insist upon making sure that everyone around them behaves a certain way instead of looking out for yourself and adapting to your surroundings like a rational being. If you don't want any harm to come to your fat, tick-like wife and ugly, ugly children, then perhaps your antithesis of a functional family shouldn't take up the entire width of a sidewalk that is designated for bicycle traffic.

For those of you who want to compliment me on my bike, you seriously, sincerely, need to keep your goddamned trap shut. I have a cool bike? No ****ing ****. I thought the same thing when I saw it, hence why I own it. WOW! Am I going REEEEEAAAALLY FAST? I guess you'd better yell that at me as I'm barrelling down a hill passing moving cars, because I would never know otherwise.

Seriously, how ****ed in the head do you have to be in order to get your jollies by yelling inane bull**** at complete strangers in public places? Just ****ing stop. Leave me alone. Let me ride in peace.

Also, please don't contact me for anything, ever.

Kactus

I know... just maybe people yell at him all the time because he projects what a ****** he is. Riding 40mph (probably more like 20, but still) on an MUP?
