And now for something completely different, $32 for a slightly rusty Rema patch kit. The glue is probably pre-hardened, adding to the buyer's inclination to display it rather than use it...

Car-free in the South
This one keeps poping up on Denvers CL one of the truly worste SS/FG builds I have ever seen usually you see a couple of things screwed up half ass on fixies but this one has pretty much everything wrong. About the worste front break bar setup I have every seen.

Not only is this a terrible bike conversion, but this guy is a total dickhead. I made a reasonable offer (I honestly wanted the wheelset and the frame as a spare) and he was an arsehole about it. He acted like he had $700 in this thing.
Right behind this guy is the dude relisting the "fixie" Bianchi MTB conversion every. single. hour. for $400. You couldn't build a worse bike if you tried. He locktited a cog onto the hub, and thinks its just the bee's knees.

This person is completely ignorant, even for suggesting that these hubs be used. They're not worth $1.00, much less $100.,,,,BD

GORGEOUS Raleigh, but $2500 is a little wacky IMHO? The seller must be grinning ear to ear!

This guy must have been trying to win a "most majestic bum bars" competition. Also, "world's crustiest sidewalls." It even mentions DUIs in the ad. Am I falling for a parody?

Refreshing and amusing change of pace from the usual kijiji / CL listing:
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-road-bike/cal...rame/571177583
This is a super wicked almost the original (by maybe a year) Brodie Romax. This thing was cool before you ever even heard of cyclocross. If you dont know who Richard Sachs is, or have a "tri-bike" you cannot have this bike. This bike was born before hipsters and tattoos. This bike has forgotten more IPA than you've even heard of. I will give you the original rubber for this too (it comes with the old ritchey cross tires and some sweet michelins). . About a sixteen inch (maybe smaller) frame. Lady ridden (a 5'6" lady) - meaning that it hasnt been crashed head first into curbs like some gorb. If you own a "fixie" you cant buy this (unless you happen to race track - proof required).

If I saw this on the MS 150, I would throw tacks in front of them. Do they even allow motorized bicycles? I would definitely NOT want to climb a hill on this death trap when the motor runs out of gas.,,,,BD
