They spray painted over the reflectors rather than just removing them. That's just brilliant.

Can you believe this? Do people really want these brakes that badly? Perhaps I should sell mine
Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me they seem to be missing an arm, a whole QR mech, several washers and nuts, not to mention a stone and still sold for $107 weird http://www.ebay.com/itm/Campagnolo-C...vip=true&rt=nc http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...0&d=1347989434 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=273540 |

At least the seller is up front that this is not a real De Rosa. But still, it's more than likely this frame is going to be passed off as the real thing to some poor ol' schmuck down the line. That fork is so wrong, even for a pretend De Rosa.

I can't stand some of the people on craigslist. The ones that post things just as a 'feeler'. There was a Giant Rainier (minus wheelset) for sale for $150.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/bik/3277752616.html I've got a 2005 Giant Rainier 19" bike frame for sale. The tires were stolen and I don't have time anymore to fix it up. Everything is included, except the wheels. The bike lists at $700 new (with wheels obviously), and it's in pretty good shape. My dad was the original owner and kept it meticulously maintained. Asking $150, OBO. http://images.craigslist.org/5L85E45...fc4082137b.jpg On Monday, I was the first person to e-mail the guy and ask when I could take a look at it, assuring him that I was very interested in it. He told me he wouldn't be available until Tuesday night. This morning he said he sent me an e-mail: Do to the interest I've received, I'm raising the price to $200. Sorry for the advertising error. Then he sends another e-mail to me: Sorry for the change of plans. I'm going to delist the bike for a few days. My roommate thinks he can get some cheap wheels to get it back into running condition. I think there's a high probability that I will put it back on sale in a few days (after we figure out how much it will cost us to get new rims/rotors/casette, etc.). |

Then he sends another e-mail to me: Figure out what you're selling, and how much you want for it - BEFORE you list it. Don't jerk people around. |

I would bet this frame is relisted shortly as it is now ounce the seller figures out what putting a correct wheelset on the bike with cassette rotors and tires will actually cost. This bike is really only of value to someone who already has a correct wheelset. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy e-mails you in about a week asking if will wtill buy it for $200.

Check this Madison CL ad. I think the bent handle bars are the least of this bikes problems...like maybe front forks and who know what else. http://madison.craigslist.org/bik/3283132510.html |

Yeah, but then you'll have a story to tell all your friends (assuming you make it back alive). How much is that worth? $6 easily, no?

I wonder if this is some kind of joke or not. Maybe he really thinks he is posting on the CL from the Netherlands.
Bike seller on Holland MI Craigslist selling a Dutch bike for 250 Euros and claiming he is from The Hague. http://holland.craigslist.org/bik/3285095394.html |

Budget Bicycles is at it again This bicycle has not been tuned by one of our shops mechanics but appears to be in good working order. The paint is in pretty good shape but most of the decals have worn away. Dear bbcbikes, If I wanted one of your mechanics to tune it, how much extra would that cost ? - 3alarmer |
