I Hope It Is a Joke because It Made Me Laugh!
https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/bik/2615993838.html
This bicycle has been ridden for at least 1000 miles since the 2 years I have owned it. I just put new brakes on it, as well as new derailleurs, both on front and back. Sorry about there being no rear brake, but I figure that a front brake is enough for general stopping needs.
Additional modifications I have done were addition of a headlight (typically the kind fleet vehicles use as a reverse light), and a generic taillight which run on a 12 volt battery. It has a real car horn (safety is crutial for riding, but it needs a pushbutton as of yet), it also has a 12 volt outlet (you can charge your cellphone/MP3/iPod/GPS/etc, you can help stranded motorists or other bicyclists, or yourself if there is a flat tire when you have a pump, you can also use it for homebrew helmet lighting), there even a battery life indicator since I happened to re-use a control panel from a discarded portable jump box. I also have a rearview mirror from a car on the right handgrip.
Just as a reminder, you'll need a trickle charger, or some car battery charger in order to charge the battery provided with the bike. Be sure not to overcharge the battery, since it would be smart to use an automatic battery charger, or to put a timer in line with a manual charger. It is also feasible to put the battery in parallel with a battery maintainer if you also have a classic/seasonal vehicle alongside.

Hey Cyclists, I am selling my mint condition Trek Top Fuel 9.9SSL Full carbon Full suspension Mountain Bike / Actually a top of the like Cross Country Race bike. This weighs in at 17.5lbs!!
Running Rock Shox World Cup Forks with remote lockout, rebound adjustment, Compression, Waste gate, + & - Air Settings (Dual Air) and wicked lightweight. The rear shock is a Fox shock RP 23 with propedal 3 settings and the lockout on the shock. This also has compression, rebound, and the 3 on the fly adjustable settings for stiffness for hill climbing and full speed flats.
I am asking $5,000 for the bike with the wheel set. This bike was $8,300 plus new, and the shock was extra. I have ridden the bike a total of 6 times on road environments only no trails. The wheels are also tubeless ready I just didn't switch it over yet, everything else is XTR, breaks, shifters, front derailleur, rear derailleur, Carbon everything including the XTR Crankset.
*Trek Top Fuel 9.9 SSL 19.5 Frame
*Rock Shock SID World Cup Fork/Shocks with remote lockout
*Fox Float RP23 Rear Shocks
*Shimano XTR Rear Derailleur
*Shimano XTR Front Derailleur
*Shimano XTR Hydraulic Disc Brakes
*Shimano XTR Crank 175mm (42t-28t)
*Shimano XTR Cassette 11-36 10-Speed
*Shimano XTR PC10-91R Chain

*Panaracer Fire X CPRO Wheels (Tube/Tubeless)
*Bontrager RXL handlebars
*Cane Creek IS3 Headset

Thoughts about this one? (if it was worth so much, why would he go to craigslist and not somewhere more specialized? he bought all carbon to ride it only 6 times? wth?)

^ I AM in Detroit, and I have to admit I'd like to see this bike. I can't believe Bikemanbob passed on it! Bob, if I get this bike, can I bring it in to the shop for you to change the oil and do a front-end alignment?

near new condition............steel frame, with the exception of a small cut on center seat tube, which can be welded it if you would like.
"Near new condition...except for the small cut on the seat tube." The seat tube is cut all the way through! I like how the seller says "can be welded if you would like" as if riding without welding is an option.

If I lived in Dee-troit I'd make the trip just to see how big and heavy a battery he has in the plastic milk carton front basket with no rear brakes. Stopping that puppy from any kind of speed would be a fine test of skillz.

Huge pile of fertilizer getting spread out here:
https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/bik/2622644121.html
"I also checked the internet and noticed that Gitane TDF's are selling for around $350, but it also costs $165 to ship them! Why would I sell it for $100? I don't like to haggle. But I hope the buyer is someone who will ride it, not just someone that wants to resell it and make some money off of me." Sure thing, but the buyer pays the shipping they want it that bad.
I'd bet the farm he picked this up Sunday at a garage sale, there's way too much detail and drama going on here.

-----------
For those who missed it: Target got stampedes in their stores last month as people fought to buy special one-time-only stuff by their pet Italian designer Missoni. The fugly bike pic'd above with those really bad acid-flashback zig-zag stripes all over has a Shimano 3 IGH and I think sold for about $400. There's also a black 'n white version that's equally obnoxious.
The flippers immediately started hawking all the special Missoni stuff on eBay with reported success for clothing and household stuff, but this bike hasn't moved in the month since. Maybe because bright op-art patterns just look better stretched across nice lady curves than all over some poor undeserving bike. Hate flippers, esp. @ 3x's markup.

Heh, one bike I painted as a kid I used a low grit sand paper and you could see every line through the paint. I also painted the seatpost... needless to say it was nearly impossible to adjust after that!

A small cut on center seat tube, which can be welded it if you would like.
It's just a flesh wound!
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.
