"I have a Bianchi bike that is in good condition ready for a new owner...Other then the brakes this bike in is good condition"
I see this Bianchi comes with the extra-special self-steering forks...
Love the rest of his description:
"It has gears that can be changed whenever including mid ride if needed or wanted.
This bike is sleek and fast as it probably weighs under 10lbs, and you could peddle to 30+mph easy."
Can't make this **** up!

Lambert was a British bicycle brand in the 1970s that produced suspiciously inexpensive & lightweight bikes, which had cast aluminum forks. Read that again: cast aluminum forks. 0_O These were swaged to a steel steerer tube, and the forks had a nasty habit of snapping-off at the joint, leaving the rider facing the horizon at a newly acute angle.
The bad rep caught-up with Lambert, so after a few years they changed the brand to "Viscount". Yamaha bought the company in the late-'70s and recalled all of the forks, replacing them with proper Tange steel units.

The crappy Columbia bike has a Sturmey hub and shifter, the only unWacky things about this setup.

Okay, it's a Peugeot folder that looks original and slightly grubby, already priced at more than three times the rate of a very nice one. You'd think the seller would have it in tiptop shape for that price. Nope. It's an hour away from me and I'd pay 1/10 of his ask.
