How about $250 for a bent lotus? Maybe you'd get it back if the components are nice and you part it out... shame.

I can't tell if the fork is bent. But, the ad does say OBO.
$50?

ugly bike for manly men
Got a kick out of this one. Actually went to see this one last week. Didn't buy cause pretty much every moving pat needed to be replaced or overhauled.

ROAD BIKES - $100 (Eugene)
Probably not too bad of a deal if it is for both of them. Is that a Denali class bike? Pink Raleigh?
But, what caught my eye was the reason for the sale.
I've seen people saying they were moving out of the country.
But, is there a reason to not want a bike if moving to the country? Pickup Drivers?

Hmmpf
One wonders why a person doesn't spend 10 minutes to detail a $2500 bike. Well, maybe a $600 bike.
Apparently it was only posted an hour ago.
I wonder how many months that will stay up on Craigslist. Let us know if it is still haunting the dusty corners of the NYC craigslist in 6 months, perhaps spreading like a virus to every suburb within 100 miles.

But, I'm not sure I'd call that a Triathlon bike (unless it is an Ironman competition
).A little ambitious on the pricing though.
I think the seller needs to learn the difference between titanium boron steel and 6Al4V Titanium alloy.

New Ultegra pedals - $150 (Will deliver)
I saw this... whew, it sounded expensive, so the first thing I did was look online to see how much they actually cost.
Amazon, $98
Merlin $88
The $199 (MSRP) tag is visible on the box.
It almost makes me feel bad for the people who shop locally.

I'll take "Bad Bike Photos for $300, Alex"
[h=2]Cannondale H-500Mens Touring Bicycle - $250 (Columbus)[/h]
Three photos, none of which really show the drivetrain well. My first thought is, "What are they hiding?" and of course the bike needs cleaned.

Bad, I agree, but far from the worst... Certainly not as bad as this:

Got a kick out of this one. Actually went to see this one last week. Didn't buy cause pretty much every moving pat needed to be replaced or overhauled.

You'd think on a $2500 bike you could expect to get the entire bottle cage:
