Would you pay $250 to a seller with this little grasp of punctuation and spelling? Oh, but he is quite deprate!

This was posted to another list, but I thought I would forward it here. This is not a PX-10, but it does have "nervex design paint" ... what more could you want?

We used to do a bike powered pub crawl once a year. I had a bike especially for this ride. I think that must be what he means by "...barly used...'

Love this one.

Didn't know that they replaced Michael Landon with a Raleigh in the remake of Highway to Heaven...

That's just plain stupid.

If there are two things that I believe shouldn't exist, they're American steerhorn bars and BMX bikes...looks like someone was listening when I said that...

OK, now here's one with attitude, the attitude that he's going to decide for you whether or not you should be allowed to bid on it. Single-speed only freaks allowed:

The description on this one is pretty interesting, in an annoying sort of way. Maybe it's a wonderful bike, but for $300?!

This one gets Numbskull Of The Day for this single statement in his auction:

"I assume Brooks saddles would be period correct for the bike, though they would probably not be as comfy."

Forgive me for saying so but...BULL$HIT!

To be fair, he did take off the braze ons... Doesn't make it good for much else...

Stay with this one, as the author was very wordy. But it seems like a great deal, if only there was a hint of what it was that they were selling. Here ya go.

I think he meant 'schwing', not 'Schwim'.

I had to run back over that one a few times to soak in all the information!

nlerner 03-31-06 03:38 PM

Well, this one isn't a seller, but it cracked me up nevertheless at the thought of this guy trying to find a diversion for his "friend." Hey, why not try putting him on a bike and pointing him towards Boston traffic!

How about

http://chicago.craigslist.org/bik/147551377.html

It has a French body, and it goes 60 MPH. What more could you want?
