Fuji Fan
Why would someone think a repainted bike would be worth so much? I'm assuming that this is actually an 83 Team, but if that is the case, it looks like noglider shorted himself on his sale.

(or go and get it, like yesterday ). This is a late 90s Peloton. 853 frame, Ultrega components. The right brifter alone is worth the $75.

I don't know if this should go somewhere else, but with the odd bends in the downtube and seat stays, I wonder if this is right. No seat tube??? Is it some kind of kids bike?

Then there's this yo-yo. 
"Sure I want to sell this thing, but I just had to include pictures of me and my buddy jumping it. The frame is only a little tweaked,... really."

They are just shrewdly targeting the Peter Griffin's of the world.
Peter: A boat's a boat. But the mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat! You know how much we've wanted one of those!
Lois: Then let's just...
Peter: We'll take the box.
