^No, it's the Shimano 600 crank set, shimano105 derailer, shimano 600 brakes, race wrapped handle bars, mavic rims,Michelin pro wheels that are under 12 pounds. All the rest of the gear (plus the frame) add another 12.

Only $3000 for a Fuji/Marlboro folder and a Murray/Squirt MTB! You'd think for that much money they could at least wash them.

^ Looks like they buyer might also need to supply their own Park frame bending tool as well, judging from the black marks behind the head tube lugs on the top and down tubes... details, details

Schwinn actually stoped using top shifters in the late 60's for this very reason after numerous complaints and a couple of law suits. Actually going sitting reaching back this much to shift caused many riders to loose balance come of the seat and you can quess what happens. Top shifters did not earn the nick name nut busters for nothing.

This one is kinda wacky good pics of everything but the drive side of the bike or components. I just find annoying when people take pics of everything but what matters. Plus the only description is 23inchs likely wrong and very light. Almost a perfect example of how not to list nice bike.

Agreed, as it's kind of a unique, cool look(Although I think bullhorns would fit the look better). But the $500 price is way out of line(might as well stick with the 100,000 price as the seller will get the same sort of interest as the 500 price - zero)......even with the Portlandia style description.....lol.

Chrome Ross Single Speed Mountain Bike - $800 (Horner Park)
Not really sure I want to sell this, just seeing what kind of interest I can get for it.
Beautiful Chrome Ross Mountain bike that I had converted to a Single Speed.
Bike rides like a dream and will turn heads. Never seen one built up like this.

Hey, I have an all chrome plated higher end Ross mountain bike also. $800.00? Good luck with that. I would happily sell mine for $100.00.
