So what's up man? Did I tick you off somehow? I thought you'd at least say "something" about
finding the chainguard?,,,,HD(BD)

The line to consider in this ad is "painted frame by some guy who is good at painting..." Uh, yeah, check out that fade on the chainstay.

must go by tonight (no matter how late tonight) LMAO!

I guess the later it gets, the darker it gets, and the less you will see that wicked fade job.,,,,BD

Howdy there! I completely missed your message on the chainguard there. Good find! What have you been up to?

-Kurt

those are some wicked mirrors.

Did he really spell tube t-o-o-b? Yes he did....3 times! Oh, and some great photos. I think I'll bid on it just to get that saddle.

Really bad bike photography and a way too high BIN price on this Raleigh Competition:

Let's do the time warp again ... (the shifter is from Japan circa mid - 1980s?)

Hey Kurt, I've been up to all kinds of projects since we last talked. For some reason I got one or two email notifications, and then no more? Oh I saw the free spirit on like page 8? I can beat that. I got $80 for an AMF nimble 3 speed. It was in really good shape. I changed north road bars to ATB risers, put some stitched Dimension grips on it, and a Magna MTB seat that I dyed tan. I was pretty surprised in the interest.
I got it for $25 on Sunday, and it was gone by Wednesday for $80.,,,,BD

Look at the auction title, then at the photo...

How's that rhyme go again? I before E except in Raleigh?

ral ei guhh very rare

Drop me another line when you get a chance and LMK via PM to make sure it goes through.

Well, although it was no slouch of a bike to begin with, how about this: Bought an early-90's Univega at a yard sale for $30, flipped it for $195 after converting it to Shimano 7-speed w/Biopace. Also once put together a singlespeed MTB beater from 100% trash-picked parts from at least 10 different bikes (and I don't mean small parts), and flipped that ugly machine for $30.

Take care,

Bianchi racing bike for sale. Great condition. Perfect for riding long distances on smooth terrain. Total weight less than 8 lbs. Perfect weight for use with roof racks.

How's This One For Unusual Capitalization and Spelling?! Also troubling is that each pic shows a bike locked to a pole, leading one to wonder if the "owner" will be stealing the one that draws interest.

Spinergy on a cheap-ass truing stand
 

Gabba Gabba Hey! Spinergy on a cheap-ass truing stand!

Get this Trek Liquid 20 frame for a faction of what the seller paid for it!

OK -- I bought the truing stand and have my Spinergy wheel mounted up in it like the pic shows, but which part of my new spoke wrench am I supposed to use? :rolleyes:

Read the description. Before someone informed him it was steel and not titanium or carbon fiber (yowza), he had the starting price set at $45. Now it's $350.00 with a buy it now price of $600. The dude needs some meds, he's manic.

Another one, this is actually relisted:

It's a walmart bike and they call it a GT and call the gripshift a "hand throttle".

I didn't grab the listing, but I saw a bike yesterday that was from someone wh obviously listened to comments from someone... at least a little.

Along with a list of componenets was listed...


Drum roll please...


Front and rear dropouts.

I almost responded with a smart alec remark, but I resisted.
