I answered a "Peugeot bike $125" ad with no pictures. It was a late 70's PX10 when he rolled it out of the house.,,,,BD

Soooo, you shoot the competitors in the face as they try to pass? Or do you ingest it yourself and feel like a winner even though you're dead last.:lol:,,,,BD

Yeah but to be fair, that ad did have 'Peugeot' in it, which was far more info than 'good bike', lol.

Hmm.. that does ​sound fast.. lol.

How would you reach those bottles during your ride

You don't need to,
If they are battery packs for stealth motors. :)

Perhaps it beat the neighborhood dog 3 times. The fourth time wasn't so lucky :eek:

To be fair, apparently the bike has been advertised since at least June 2015, and has been dropped in price by at least $100 :thumb:

He cheated that lady good, huh? ;)

I thought it was a lot older song than it is. But, apparently it is a made-up story, or melding of a couple of stories. But, it is hard to say that paying the full asking price was "cheating" anybody. If I get a good price on Craigslist, I'll often round up $5, and everyone is happy :)

And, of course, if the event was real, it would have been Private Malone's car, and the note in the glovebox indicated that he might have been ok with the sale.

True they are valid. I just thought her reason that he got a car so doesn't ride anymore was kinda funny, like he rode it to get places.

Not a bad deal for mental files.

A couple look badly contaminated.

No lights or signals?

So, what is in the tank?

Now that is just wacky.

If someone brings the key, do they still have to pay $50?
Has he called the PD with the description and SN?

How about KIJIJI ads?

Here's one where the person sounds like they know what they're doing.

Bike tune up

flat tire:$5. internal exchange:$10.
Minor bicycle tune up for 20 dollars, major is 35 dollars.

If his major tune-up is anything like mine, then $35 would be a BARGAIN.

Disassembly and cleaning of every bearing in the bike. Checking and/or polishing cones. Adjusting everything. New cables (and housings?) around. Truing wheels., Maybe new tires and tubes. Replacing or repairing other parts as needed. New chain.

Misleading ad, stupid price (sans pedals even). No, it's not a Traveler. No, it's not even the lowlier World Sport. It's just a plain ol' World with pursuit bars.

Do NOT miss out on this vintage Schwinn World Traveler! (I'm 5 '11, 165 pounds and the frame fits me perfect)

Fire-engine Red frame

Bontrager Race Lite, Puncture resistant tires (size 27 x 1 1/4)
NEW Kona saddle
NEW Origin-8 bullhorn handlebars (I have original drop bars too, for free)

(being sold without the pedals, but new pedals can be purchased for $20)

Nobody answered my question. Anyway, would anybody be crazy enough to fit a motorized bicycle with a nitrous oxide system?

um yes, plenty of people. When we were kids we used to fill our arrow shafts (aluminum) with gunpowder, a bit of cannon fuse, light and shoot. ROCKET arrows!

smart.of course this is when you could go into Bi-Mart at 13 years old, grab a cask of gunpowder, cannon fuse, some pipes and fittings, and the cashier would just ring you up and and ask if you needed any gasoline.

It's the fact that the ad doesn't make sense in some areas and the spelling is terrible. I wonder if this person is anywhere near as good as they sa6y they are? Look at this part: "Minor bicycle tune up for 20 dollars, major is 35 dollars.
minor included: bring, break, switch setting"

What's a 'bring' or a s'switch setting'? I want my brakes to work not 'break'.

Cheers

True.

There are a few smart individuals who don't verbally express themselves very well. But, yes, a mechanic should know the basic parts and tools they're working with.

I'd expect a basic tuneup to include adjusting Brakes, Brake Levers, Shift Levers, Derailleurs, and etc. Check cones for tightness. A lot will also depend on the bike. Hard to do much derailleur adjustment on a fixie.

Interesting ad. 3 pictures, two are the same and the third is a slightly better angle, but cuts off the RD and back. Seller says its too small yet the seat is slammed as low as possible. Says its a single speed yet it is clearly geared.
