did he leave out the decimal point? $20.00

Ahaha - good one! :D

I love the ones that give you almost enough detail... Either one in this ad would have been considered, but when I sent an email to ask about size, after a week discovered that they are both too small (54's I think)

But my favorites are the ones that give you no information, I tried to find one I saw in the past few months that said nothing about the bike except it was red... This one is just as good:

Maybe he thought it was like an ATM and inserts the decimal point automatically.

:D

Oh, just you guys wait -- the SF craigslist is crawling with them. I'll be back momentarily...

I do miss the bay area, and that brought tears to my eyes...

:roflmao: :lol: :roflmao:

So to recap, both brakes work to some degree, and the left one is brand new...

Of course, with the right decals, it could be whatever you want it to be. :D

Here's another for you fellows:

It's very rare! Sure! And it's rare enough to have a reserve on it!

Holy cow! After reading the description I checked to see where the seller was, expecting it to be overseas based on the writing.

Wisconsin. :eek:

I didnt think TT bikes had reflectors.....

these are nothing.... I have seen guys with sand blasted aluminum X-mart full suspension bikes claiming they are custom and cost such and such to build trying to rip people off.. but here is one:

no doubt it may have been pricey in it's day but I don't consider Trek custom... maybe personalised compenents...

EDIT: sorry I am not implying this is an X-mart rip off attemp mearly an add I find humourous

I was surprised no one snapped up this one....

He even had it in two auctions at the same time one starting at $49.99 and one at $69.99. "You Cannot Buy A Bike Of This Quality Today For Under $500! " He said, and "You’ll Have Seen These In The Tour de France!" It's amazing that not one cyclist took the bait. Not!

I like how he took a photo of the high tensile steel logo... I've always wanted a gas pipe!

UPGRADED to Grip-Shifts?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mods, please make this a sticky!

(And posters, try to keep the bikes mentioned here classic/vintage)

Take care,

-Kurt

Whoa, this guy either needs to use grammar check or an ad writer!

Actually, I got a giggle out of how that ruler pointing out bottom bracket clearance (MTBing anyone?) nicely almost hid the rusted crank bolt.

Deranged Few M/C

I actually saw this and thought "I've heard of Shoguns... I wonder... " Then saw the details of the frame etc. I also love the photo measuring the pedal width. :)

Apparently one person clicked to get the estimated shipping cost, and it was over $120... more than the bike is worth.

Do hold me back.

I always thought that Wisconsin was a foreign country.

I really like how these lightweight rare tour day france bikes weight 26 thru 30 pounds. . .

RARE!!!! Schwinn Paramount Track Frame!!! Apparently from Aug. 1971 (Serial #H7157) with a new-style badge.

Only 127.50 (Reserve Not Met)

Maybe I'm not very knowledgable with Schwinn Paramount's - but that's rediculous.

I predict that frame will bring at least $300.00. I have no interest in it, but it seems to be a fine frame with a few cosmetic issues.

This one has been on Boston's CL all week:

http://boston.craigslist.org/bik/136604876.html

The seller started at $250 and is now down to *only* $200. I mean, it's a fine, servicable three-speed, but it's priced at four times what any sane person should pay.

And here's my candidate for worst bike photography of, perhaps, all time:

That Phillips could fetch $200 out here, $150 for certain.

Once I DLed the Raleigh pic and adjusted the levels, it looks more like an early '50s DL-1.
