Who knew that "chromloy" (RIGHT next to where he spells it in a way that at least makes sense phonetically....) was such an "expensive metal"? And just feast your eyes on those "lightweight composite parts", like the bigeffin' steel springs in the geezer-glide saddle.

This is a 1980's Peugeot all of the parts are light weight composite the frame is all chromoly,chromloy is one of the most expensive metals used to build bikes, everything works,

I suppose NOS could also mean "Neglected Or Stressed"?

or they are huffing some nitrous...

Old Fabuluz has outdone himself.

A $1400 Le Cyclo to go with your $700 lever. He has it advertised as the rare five-speed model, but it's only a four by my reckoning. Yes it's alu, and yes it's got cool grease nipples, but five should have a longer area between the cable "drum" and the jockey pulley. It's valuable, but it's not Nivex-valuable.

Yeah just like OBO means "or bug off" Smiles, MH

Gives new depth of meaning to the term "Funny Bike"

Perhaps the 24" front was to accommodate a switch from rigid to suspension fork? Clever way to keep the geometry pretty close.
I'm trying to give him some credit here. . . .

It's a mullet bike; business in the front, party in the back! :D

It's no mullet, but the price is funny. I'm half tempted to contact the seller and edumucate them. Then again, who am I to stand in the way of commerce?

This vintage stump jumper is hard to find. Has 21 speeds, finger tip shifters, shimano 600 centerpull braking system, direct drive, shimano heat treated rims, shamano Deore XT derailers and shimano peddle shafts. Rides extremely nice, shifts smoothly and very touchy brakes. Great bike for 500.00.

^^^^ Pretty cool how he managed to spell Shimano two different ways within just a few words of each other. If you do contact him ask him what "peddle shafts" are.

​​​​​​Reminds me of being stuck at a red light on my bike one afternoon, and this redneck in an El Camino quite a ways off kept yelling, "I got a big ****!"

​​​​​​

And in the middle? Please don't respond, It only makes me worse...

He cut out the SEAT TUBE, and is trying to sell it...Credit? To a previous owner, perhaps... Any points you gained for good idea you lost in double measure for being a horrible judge of people... ;)

Man, I was so close to wacky world bingo!
I like how the steering isn't linked, that should lead to fun times. I think a ball joint on the inside fork blades with a tie rod would solve that, though.

That fork is a 24" as well, off a box store BSO like a Huffy or Magna.... Looks to me like someone stuffed the Raleigh into the back of a parked car and severely bent the wheel, fork and top tube. They cut out the bent top tube, realigned the head tube and bottom tube and "reinforced" the frame then installed a fork and wheel from something the grabbed off the curb on trash day which happened to be a 24" bike. The real question here is, "Why bother?"

There's a sucker born every minute?

You'll never be a winner if you've already lost in your mind?

We've got a ranter!

"Crappy Bike Flipper Junk on East Side

https://images.craigslist.org/00A0A_...T_1200x900.jpg
https://images.craigslist.org/00o0o_...T_1200x900.jpg

What sad bikes this dude Mark is pushing. Classic bike flipper bikes. This guy is definitely not a mechanic. "Tuned up and ready to ride" is synonymous with "needs lots of work." Look at the wheels on his bikes, the inner tubes aren't even straight. His idea of a tuneup is hosing a bike off with water. This guy is a joke.

Expect any bike you buy from this used car salesman to need a full service tuneup from a real mechanic."

I bought my 716 from him. Nice enough guy, and while I think his stuff is a tad bit overpriced I'd buy from him again if he had something I really wanted. Maybe he doesn't do a meticulous overhaul, but I rode mine for a couple hundred miles with no issues, and when I took everything apart there were no surprises.

I like that he thought to swap the front wheels and pedals to give the whole thing a visual balance.

Someone ask gugie to pair together two cheapie bikes, and not to link the steering. We'll call it the 'get along' bike.

It's a racing bike. Where the two riders are always tied for last.

what might work is just fix the front ends straight and you steer by whomever is pedaling faster. that might actually be fun.

Made me laugh out loud...

Let the tortured souls of the dead rest.
