If anyone is stupid enough to go for that one, I'll immediately offer $175.00. Just for the joy of painting it rattle can pink, and putting Huffy decals on it.

Here's one in the minimalist category. We know it's new; we know it's an mtb; we know it's for sale. What else is there to know?

Is this guy(or girl) suffering from low self esteem? I think I would ask a little more for a 1 year old $700 bike, especially in the condition it's in?,,,,BD

I like the concept:

35 lb bike for $350 = $10/lb

So that means I can get a 15 lb bike for $150 ....
