"Motobecane Grand Tutile" $325 Even if the price was not so high, even if the bike didn't look rusty and beat up, even if it weren't a jumbo size, he would still have trouble selling a bike called a 'Grand Tutile.' It is of course a Grand Jubilee, which a moment of looking, thinking, or if that was not feasible, googling, would have resolved. OTOH proper respect to him for spelling 'Motobecane' correctly. |

I like this seller's self-deprecating sense of humor :lol: :

OK now this is a listing for a car but really what can she be thinking.
"Hello i'm selling a 95 mitsubishi eclipse. I just bought the car on Friday 7-16-10 and the engine blew up on me on Wednesday 7-21-10. So needless to say i just want some money back for the car that i JUST bought. I bought the car for $2800 and i'm just asking $1000 for her. Other than the engine not working she is in great shape.

French made Unic-Sport road bike used for Tour de France professional racing. Uh, no it wasn't... though it doesn't have safety levers, might be too old for those? Oh, and it apparently is a dog? Shifts and barkes well |

I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding this, but it sure seems that the seller is acknowledging the frame is stolen. Even says so in the main title. Also, check out that mangled chain stay which "doesn't affect anything."

Stolen is a brand. Poor choice for advertising sakes, though.

1975 Motobecane Grand Record vintage road bike - $800 (Fort Collins) Date: 2010-07-29, 3:56PM MDT Reply to: sale-t9vnw-1870486370@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] This is a 1975 Motobecane Grand Record , Red with Gold and black trim including a Rare Gold rear chain-ring. The pictures do not do this rare bike justice, is a great find in excellent condition. Based on the overall condition and wear in the chain-rings i would guess it never saw more than 300 miles and was stored in a clean garage for 35 years. Fully tuned, overhauled and refurbished at the bike shop i work at about 2 weeks ago. I tried to keep it as original as possible but upgraded some cosmetic parts. I absolutely love how this bike turned out but it is too nice and good looking for commuting to the shop. It deserves to be in the hands of a collector with all its great original condition and unique parts. Key Original Features Great paint job - rare red with black and gold hand laid paint Unique upgraded butted steel features- this bike has the most decorative and elegant butted steel styling offered at the time hand made in France GOLD REAR Cog- VERY RARE- Has minimal -wear looks amazing with the other colors (I have been offered $100 just for this piece!) Suntour V-Tluxe rear derailleur Suntour compe V front derailleur Campagnolo shifter Stronglight Cranks Norman Hubs with Rigida rims and galvanized spokes Kusuki Win Japanese handlebars New cosmetic parts include: Brooks B-17 leather saddle Red anodized origin8 clip-less pedals with original leather straps cables and housing Vintage Italian made Campagnolo shifter CST Super hp tires,new tubes New chain New front and back brake pads New handlebar tape INCLUDES replaced parts: original brake pads (very little wear they just stop slower) original pedals -surface rust original shifter Price is fair at $800 Contact Harlie (989) 400-25XX...more pics available Maybe if he put the original Nuovo Record derailleurs back on it'd be worth half that. Maybe even a little more. But original, or fair, it isn't. One would think that a guy who worked in a bike shop would know what a freewheel is called... and maybe if he could read his hubs wouldn't be named "Norman". We seem to get a surprising number of cluelessly dishonest people around here. |
Fixed it ... :thumb:

Caught an ad about an hour ago on Craigslist (it's down now) for a 2009 Giant Aeryn...near brand new shape, guy bought it for his daughter to use but only used it a couple times...price? $25.00....and that was a price DROP from the original asking price of $150 because "one of the cranks is stripped." I called as fast as I could but someone got to it before I did, naturally....women's bike or not I would have taken that anyday, that was the best absent-minded deal I've ever seen!

Holy F'n Numbskull of the Century... I just called this little pr*ck to give him a friendly head's up about how deceptive the ad was, due to catastrophic front end damage and he gave me the biggest line of BS ever about how easy it is to fix the front fork, and how it had never, ever been crashed "Dude, which bike are you calling about? Oh, the classic Italian racing bike.... I'm pretty sure it was made by Masi....I'm the orig owner, stop wasting my time do you want to buy it or not? I don't have time to discuss a bike that's not damaged....The front wheel is supposed to be like that. You don't know about bikes..."

I like how the seller quotes an article about a modern flat bar Treviso but is trying to sell a vintage road bike.
http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/1862532759.html BIKE PINARELLO Treviso- 22" Racing bike - $889 (Denver) Bicycling Review Issue: Apr 2007 EDITORIAL REVIEW Be the fastest to the espresso bar FLAT FAST: The Treviso lacks the drop handlebar of a traditional road bike, but don't mistake it for a comfort bike or hybrid. It has speedy, high-pressure 700c tires and road gearing, but offers a more upright position for those not wanting the aggressive hunch of a drop bar. MULTIPURPOSE: Sitting upright makes it easier to navigate through traffic, and the flat bar makes steering snappier, so the Treviso makes a superfast city bike with plenty of Italian style. http://images.craigslist.org/3nb3o43...a09bd11d55.jpg |
I think this seller is taking the idea of parting out a bike to an extreme:
