What's wrong with that? In a few years as my daughter gets older, I'll probably be looking for a trail-a-bike of some sort.

Nishiki Road Bike wish Shimano Ultegra and extras
This is an 80's road bike that has great potential to be an amazing ride for somebody out there. The derailleurs are good, wheel set is good, tires are fair, frame is in good shape, brakes are in good condition. The main thing that needs work on this bike is the handlebar, shifters, and brake levers. They are all there, they just need to be rewired. A local bike shop should be able to do this for not too much. (Bikers Edge in Kaysville quoted me 20-30 for the cables and the labor.) The handle bar is a unique aero-bar that will need to be wrapped and set up with a shifter set, or replaced with a standard handlebar set.The rear derailleur is Shimano Ultegra. The front derailleur is Shimano. I also have a Shimano Ultegra crankset if you want it. There is the option of either the original shifters with Shimano breaks levers, or Shimano Ultegra shifter and and break combo. For a shop to do all the work will cost closer to $50-60 not including the price of a new handlebar set and wrap.

I am selling 3 Vintage Beach Cruisers from the 60s-70s. Awesome project bikes with lots of character. I am selling each for $150, or the lot for $400. I will post pictures later, but this picture of Marilyn Monroe on a bike is what I had in mind for my girlfriend at the time, just to give you an idea. My girlfriend does not look like Marilyn Monroe.

Apart from the dialogue, he should see if the bike shop will give him $175 for it so they can flip it for the $350 they quoted.

I spray can painted a bike like that once. Except it was solid yellow in the front with b/w stripes in the back. I called it the bumblebee. Of course I was 14 years old and that was 40 plus years ago. I probably thought it was super duper cool then too.

What's kind of sad is that someone must've put a lot of work into that.

Reminds me of the summer I spent in Somerville, MA (Cambridge-adjacent), a couple times I saw "cheap funky green limousine" driving around, it was covered in astroturf and had that advertising slogan painted on the windows.

I remember seeing a process called "flocking" in my old Hot Rod magazines! It involved a positive charge and some "flocking material". Kinda cool!

I just don't think it could get weirder than that. I hesitate to post this one (that can't compete), but the photos of this innovative setup are worth seeing.

If it was turned around, that'd be a pretty cool looking squiggly fork. Also, is that a leather saddle? $100 sounds like not a bad price (if you are big enough for a bike that tall)

Here is Hubris.
I don't know the maker, a quick google search shows that they made some TDF bike back in the day. But this isn't one of them, but it is priced like it is.

I think the high price is so it won't sell, and then he can justify keeping it to his SO.

An easy question to answer. Most thieves operate at night, and they can't steal what they can't see.
