"Its not bent the bike is made like that it has no stress marks or damage of any kind"
Thinking about apologizing to the dude and suggesting that he take a picture of the bike from the side with the front wheel straight ahead to quell any doubts.

This must be pretty rare, because HE has never seen one, what a bargain.

+1 above, BB. I asked about that also, he mentioned that the listing was just for the Peugeot. Ok, why on earth would you post more pictures of the Moto then? I repeat, the guy's not in a good enough frame of mind to sell bikes.

[h=2]Classic 1970's Masi Gran Criterium Bicycle - $1000 (Wilton, California)[/h][HR][/HR]Date: 2012-07-02, 3:16PM PDT
Reply to: kctkm-3115007436@sale.craigslist.org[SUP][Errors when replying to ads?][/SUP][HR][/HR]
This is an all original 1970's Masi Gran Criterium Bicycle and it appears to be complete. It has Cinelli handle bars, Sahae pedals, Campagnolo gears and derailer and the rims are made in France and marked "competition rims". Most all of the parts are marked and all appear original to the bicycle, but I am not an expert. The paint is a bit faded, and there are a few dings and scrapes, and it needs detailing. It can be seen at Steve's 2nd Hand Shop, 11050 Wilton Road, Wilton, California 95693, which is just south of Elk Grove. You can call for further information (916) xxx-xxxx, but we are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

I'm pretty sure this eBay ad is hawking some of those cool-flashy epileptic-fit-inducing spoke lights,
but it serves up some pretty good Chinglish also, for free:

Be the envy of all your weird-looking, tight-pantsed friends with this stupid-ass bicycle. "Woah, a Pabst Blue Ribbon beach cruisin' bike," they'll say, mouth full of pocky. "Too bad I'm pale and effete and wrist deep in Rilo Kiley right now or else I would wrestle you for it!" Every lanky ****er with ridiculous hair and spedphones will accost you just to sniff the seat of this abomination. It's made by Pacific so you know it's good, or ****ty, or whatever. Basically I'm selling this super ironic weirdo magnet so I can get my girlfriend a mountain bike so we can be that awful couple on Kelly Drive. You know, the ****-eating couple with aerodynamic helmets weaving in and out of families trying to enjoy the scenic river, except I have a $99 department store bike and she'll be wearing jeans and a ketchup stained Tweety Bird shirt. I don't even know where this ****ing thing came from except it's taking up space. It's a cruiser so it's got like one speed and takes way too much effort to move around. But you can hang it on your living room wall right next to the pop-art wall spray painting of Scooby Doo giving an HJ to Scrappy Doo. Is that a thing you guys would have? I don't know since I don't get out much (two friends- both cats). This ***** is seriously bright blue and in good shape but it needs a tube for the front wheel and a pedal. I don't know where the pedal went since I spend most of my days in an alcoholic stupor, although I will attempt to remain reasonably sober for when you come pick it up. Also I made up the price, just offer me whatever. Or trade me a girls mountain bike with a flamingo on it. She ****in' loves flamingos.
