I am adding this listing for one reason. I sent an email to him to explain that valves are either Schrader or Presta, and not as he advertises... He has reposted since then, so now I think he belongs in the numbskull list... I also pointed out that if anyone is interested in spending $350 for a 20+ year old bike they want more details about size and components...

It looks a little large for me, and my price point for the bike would be closer to the $50 that he considers insulting than what he is asking... but it does look like a nice rider... and probably worth more than I would be willing to pay (I would top out at $100 for any bike that isn't really special)

I also pointed out to him (after I checked) that I can lift my 30 year old Sears bike with one finger... and it weighs a LOT!

Men's 27", 12 speed Fuji Trivoli racing bike, high quality & lightweight, and blue in color.

Comes with the Shrader/ Presto valves on narrow 27 x 1 1/8" tires that are in great shape, also have the quick release hubs on the front & back.

Overall it's in good shape, the wheels are true, and brakes are excellent too. Has toe clips, bottle holder and internal brake cables. It is light weight as seen in the picture, I am holding it up with one finger. It does not have kick stand. The bike seat has a small chuck taken out of it up front when I was transporting it in my car. $350 OBO, reasonable offers only, and serious inquires only please.

This is NOT your typical Kmart or Walmart quality of bike. Sorry but $50 is not a reasonable offer for this type of quality bike, please don't insult me with those kind of offers. If you know about bikes the pictures say it all!
