[h=2]Fixed gear fixie bike - $750 (Denver)[/h]
I'm selling a 1st generation Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta Track. It's a complete bike that just needs new tubes. The frame originally came in 3 sizes, small, medium, and large, It should be a medium but you can come check it out. It comes with two rear wheels, a fixie & one set up for a coaster brake (super fun). It also has a black Brooks saddle. I love this bike & would like it to go to someone who will enjoy it as much as I used to. Feel free to text me day or night or message me on here 7192485047

Avoid scams, deal locally! Do NOT wire funds (Western Union, Moneygram). Beware cashier checks, money orders, shipping, non-local buyers/sellers. More info
Some One just confused NJ/NY with Denver the biggest and toughest market going.

I don't really know what is going on with this one, how can anyone with even the most rudimentary knowledge of vintage bikes think this is a De Rosa? And yet it has 9 bids with more than 3 days to go
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Italian-fr...item5aee9a51fa
Oh, and he has a panto'd De Rosa stem that he must have done himself

His completed auctions are even wilder
At least it was only $10
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Colnago-IT...d=454453919361
Wow, I am in the wrong business, this one went for $135
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Colnago-Ci...p2047675.l2557
Uh, wow, this is getting a little weird now.

"Wild" does not even begin to describe this ****e. It's not even well done; I've taught kindergarteners with better hand skills.
Thanks, jet, I would have never seen these if not for you. Actually, I don't know if I should thank you, you've just opened my eyes to the mendacity and stupidity of man, which I suppose is the existential purpose of this thread.

That is the woman who I cleaned out of all the good stuff. Remember that Trek 520 and the Trek 1200 that I had at the shop? They were from her. I ended up with a complete 85 Trek 520 with modern 105 drivetrain (brifters), all original 90's Trek 1200, and I found a complete minus fork 2009 Specialized Sequoia (carbon/aluminum), and enough spare parts to make a really nice early '90s Specialized Rockhopper with drop bars/fenders/rack/etc. I also got 3 complete nice 700c wheel sets, cenilli handlebars, and a bunch of small odds and ends (good stuff).

What she has left for 1000? Not so much. She told me that if she doesn't sell anymore, than she wants me to just bring my jeep and trailer and haul it away to Pedals2People which I shall do.
