This is a very poorly done and scary looking home built show chopper. The strange thing is there are actually a couple of people at my local bike coop that ride these around town. Strange thing is among the riders in this bike culture it is consider basicaly wrong to sell one of these or ride one you didn't build yourself. Also they are completely unsafe by normal peoples standards.

Too many zeros, misplaced decimal point, and one totally dreaming seller. A clean $150 bike tops out at $150, no matter how clean.,,,,BD

Does the Park Department know about this?

I ended up grabbing this just now for $40. Seller told me they had over 15 replies in the first 10 minutes but I could have it for 40. I think I ended up with it because I told them I was available now or whenever was convenient for them.

i prefer to do it manually and have gotten at least two good deals where the seller was overwhelmed with emails.
