From the other end, many CL posters seem to have no or little knowledge about the bicycle they are selling. Bikes posted as vintage road bike turn out to be a run of the mill mountain bike(some with shocks!), or trying to say something very low end is cool, high end, vintage etc.. No mention of tubing, stand over height or anything. Some posters even post stock photos of the wrong bike that they are trying to sell! Or else, a bike is listed as mint condition that is barely ridable. And the prices! Markets like Vancouver are unbelievable! My husband has had good luck with buying vintage bikes on craiglist, but I have not. He did get a botteccia that he paid too much for. The frame itself is fabulous, but it was mechanically unsound and the parts were beyond help. He loves the bike, but has ended up costing alot and has been sitting unridable for much of it's life with us for one reason or other.
