Looks like one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Delta-Cycle-TD...d_sim_sbs_sg_7

The stem setup appears to be functional, though it is extremely awkward in appearance. I'm guessing the current owner wanted to have height adjustment left over, just in case the stem might need to come up more, for whatever reason.

Catsharp

ah, that is what it appears to be,
never seen that before.
thank you.

This bike are from Sweden. Me thinks it are priced too high for the few people that would know what it is, and are actually want it.,,,,BD

Could be somebody with a back or neck issue that can't bend over too far or bend their neck up when in the usual drop position. I have a friend in just such a situation. Why get a bike this? They still want a road bike so the LBS accommodates for the customer.

I don't see how that ad is hipster-bashing. If anything, he is completely playing to the hipster crowd by being "hipster sarcastic." Classic Craigslist attention-grabbing technique to sell a POS item.

Bikedued

This guy chose the smugly sarcastic "don't you have anything better to do" approach, when told this bike was not a 2010 model. The guy he bought it from told him it was 2010 model, so he automatically believed him, and is sticking to his guns.

Just something I've noticed, that there usually only three kinds of responses people reach for, when told something about the bike they're selling on CL. They thank you for the info, they explode into obscenities and/or threaten violence, or they choose the smug sarcastic approach. It seldom deviates from these three. Interesting.

We've had poor ads, minimalist with little or no description. Or we've had ads with horrific pictures. How these ****ers think they can sell anything is beyond me! So, to complete the circle of shame, here's one with both a lousy/tiny pic and no description to speak of:

Yes, irony would probably work on them. https://shame-full.com/hipster-hitler-irony/

Shortly after I posted a Cannondale 2.8 R900 with 600 tricolor group for $450, some deluded fellow posted his R600 for $850, oh and his has a little dent on the seat tube.

[h=2]Cannondale Road Bike - $850 (albany / el cerrito)[/h]

R600 2.8 Aluminum Cannondale with Shimano cranks, brakes and parts, Vittoria Rubino tires. The front rim is a Mavic CPX 10 with a Shimano RX 100 hub and the back is an XLC with Shimano hub. Super light and sturdy, but it does have a dent in seat tube from a wreck from previous owner. I use to ride it to work from El Cerrito to 29th and Broadway in Oakland when I was teaching and no problems whatsoever. I am unemployed and moving far away and I could use the money. $850 or best offer.

^If you think that's a little dent, I have a bridge to sell you, dirt cheap!

So I call a guy about his early Trek on CL for $100.
His first response was, "I just pulled the ad. My wife put that on there and she always sells my **** for too little."

anixi

Too bad...we call that CS where I hail from...

Yet another psychotic ad from the Inland Northwest, no asking price, an original price from around 30 years ago (and that apocryphal):

I think he's referring to the price of the current Sasquatch, as if they're somehow comparable:



Still, the old one is pretty cool...

^That's my point exactly. The two don't compare in the slightest...

I am not sure what this guy is saying. Perhaps it's "Hey, I probably have your stolen bike. Call me and we can deal!"

Not a LOT wrong with the ad, but, the things that ARE wrong just seemed to crack me up. i.e. a 120mm travel bike described as a 6 inch travel bike; the way they spelled Shimano: Shimaon
I must be in a weird mood or something, need some Scotch....

Um. Worth it how? Because irresponsible pet owners are so uproariously wacky?

I guess you don't get "cute".

That looks like it's made out of pool cues.

I guess not. Just look at this disgusting picture of me on my couch:

I don't know if this really qualifies as "wacky". Starting bid is $1850, BIN is $2500. I understand the BMX crowd is getting crazy money for some stuff. They all look like Wal-Mart bikes to me though:
