I wanted to say something off-color about branding a bike "gangsta", but this will have to do - I'm pretty sure I don't have the chops to back up that kind of trash talk.

What is funny is that she told me early on when I first visited her about 3 weeks ago that she would have let everything go for 300 dollars. For the amount of stuff she had at the, that might have made sense. Heck, the bikes I ended up with are probably worth over 1000 total.
What she has left for 1000? Not so much. She told me that if she doesn't sell anymore, than she wants me to just bring my jeep and trailer and haul it away to Pedals2People which I shall do.

Vintage Francesco Moser Size 54cm - $899 (Olney, MD)
The price isn't too bad since it is a Moser Leader AX, quite a rare and, supposedly, great-riding bike.
This part gets me though: add $200 for wheels

^That's a bit CS if you ask me. I would offer the seller $1000 incl. wheelset. Not very nice...

Too late, got a small (21"?) Trek 500, with wrong bars, correct derailleurs and shifters, Suntour ARC/AR, and three wheelsets. All the rest is doomed to be dumped on P2P.

Are you just going to rebuild the Trek and flip?

Yep, it's not worth keeping. The freewheel-wheelsets are actually pretty nice. One set has matching Matrix rims, the others are plain-jane alloy ones, good enough for flips. BTW, she's getting ready to call you and arrange to donate the rest of the stuff. I saw one lower end Centurion and a mixte Peugeot, the rest are meh...

^re: the Brooks saddle, I'd offer the seller $40. Looks ok to me for a flipper.

Don't sleep on this one, people: https://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...626014166.html
Hopefully this guy has a steadier hand with a wrench than he does with a paintbrush.

Oh, dear God...

A new and interesting one from are buddies at Budget Bicycycle Center. $500 for a Mirage Mixte frame with no fork with some rough
spots and they have the nerve to say its NOS. Maybe I'm just ignorant but best of my knowledge Moto never sold these as just a frame so no way it's NOS. Considering this one is worth about $10 I think they have set a new record for markup.
