Schwinn actually stoped using top shifters in the late 60's for this very reason after numerous complaints and a couple of law suits. Actually going sitting reaching back this much to shift caused many riders to loose balance come of the seat and you can quess what happens. Top shifters did not earn the nick name nut busters for nothing.

Yeah, I think zukahn's link is missing the "l" at the end. Anyway, the workmanship is horrible throughout. The bar wrap is worn, nevermind horribly done. The brake levers are cocked. The cabling is horrible, trim that rear brake cable please. The front derailleur is a mountain derailleur which doesn't shift well with road shifter levers, nevermind that it's mounted about an inch too high. How about the rear skewer needing to be trimmed? Oh yeah, the front skewer should be reversed. Is that a stem/bars/levers from an old French bike? Wouldn't be surprised if it's 22.0mm and not 22.2mm. If there's this much wrong just at first glance, I shudder to think of what other issues it has. I just hope nobody falls for his B.S. sales pitch and overpays for an inferior bike.

Makes that other Marlboro Fuji sound like a good deal. At either price.

This is a classic "teachable moment", pure irony for hipster kids that move to the city and think it's gonna be peace and love. It's never that.
The society around them disdains property.
They themselves disdain property.
Yeah, let's stick it to the Man! Let's occupy! Let's piss off other road users with our stupid behavior! Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Yet somehow they are surprised and shocked when someone breaks their Precious.

^I feel your pain; that drive is one that I did in part for nearly 10 years. Lousy, horrible, dangerous. I saw one knucklehead ram into another car waiting to get onto 85 south full speed! I can't imagine why I put up with it for so long...anyway, rant over, sorry you got ripped off.

It might be very high performance, but good luck listing it for the second time 6 months later at the same inflated price.,,,,BD

I feel you. I once had a guy accuse me of hacking into his email and trespassing on his property when I called him to say I was at his house to pick up the bike. We had agreed 3 days earlier that this is what was going to happen. I drove an 1.5 hrs round trip btw. Strange people on this earth

[h=2]Miyata Single Speed/Fixie, 54cm - $100 (Midtown)[/h]
I have a Miyata single speed/fixie for sale (rear wheel has fixed-gear on one side or single speed on the other), the frame is 54cm (middle of crank to top of seat tube). I'm 5'11 and it's just about right for me with the seat all the way down, should fit someone 5'10-6'2 or so.
I believe it's a 1973 200 series going by the serial number (B796218). It's a nice light frame, a bit lighter than my Schwinn Super Sport in weight.
It was in a wreck: front fork is bent and front wheel needs truing.The frame itself looks fine, I didn't find any cracks and it appears to be unbent, other than the fork. The back wheel alone is worth $75.
$100 OBO. come take a look.

At least the price right, whatever it might be. I have a feeling they searched "blue mountain bike" to get a picture for their ad, and that it's most likely a Wally World Schwinn.,,,,BD

It's astounding that the medical condition wasn't stitches, and dental work.
