It could be this guy got a couple of bikes at a super after Christmas sale dirt cheap and now is trying to make a few bucks, but I don't think so. Somehow it feels legit (check how they're set up), in which case this is a hilariously tragic tale of bike buying gone wrong. Poor guy.


Novara Verita Steel Road Bike Medium Size - $600 (SE Portland)




This bike was used for about 20 miles, and was a bit too small for me. I had knee surgery and no longer need the bike. The bike looks new and is a fantastic bike for commutes or long rides.

Okay. That's the opener. But where's the punchline?
Wait for it ...








Novara Verita Steel-Frame Road Bike - XL Frame - $600 (SE Portland)




I used this bike for under 100 miles, and it looks brand new. This is the XL frame, designed for riders 6" to 6'3". It is a little bit too big for me. The bike was 1200 when I purchased it, and I'm firm on the 750 price because of that, I bought it 6 months ago and have just decided to sell it after taking it for a short ride last week.
