I've wondered if some sellers purposely misspell an item if it was stolen, also avoiding actual photos of the item.

For example, say you had a Rock Hopper stolen, every few days you might do a search of ads across the state, or into neighboring states. Perhaps using a utility such as SearchTempest.

Thus, by using such atrocious spelling, the locals that read ads from the top of the list will still find it, but those only doing searches will fail.

Woah! Rare! AMAZING!!! Empty your wallet for this bike boom dud!

[h=2]Collectors Bike For Sale - Women's Ficelle - $700 (University and Snelling, MN)[/h]Collectors Bike For Sale - Women's Ficelle



I am moving and must get rid of my AMAZING bike!!! It is a French 3-speed Ficelle road bike (probably about 40-45 years old) in pristine condition with minor rust (as seen in pics) with brand new breaks, an old-school light that is powered by pedaling, a basket, and a tire pump that is attached as well!!! I am 5'3" and the bike is perfect for me. In addition I can take credit cards for payment via the square app!!! This bike is so fabulous and will probably sell fast considering what a beautiful collectible it is! Please contact me ASAP if interested.

you might be right about the misspellings... I had not thought of that.

here is one that is a terrible advert but someone should go buy-

centurion 18 spd.

Anybody need a new cassette?

Shimano 7 Speed Cassette - $10

Maybe I should send the seller an e-mail and ask if it is Uniglide compatible

Oh... and what are we in for with the new Oregon law passed last year????

**wanted** mens beach cruiser for 420.

It's a mirage. the summer heat in Phoenix does strange things to forks

I bet slamming into the side of a buick didn't help either.

Let me put some money into a continental and ask $1000 for it. I hate Santa Fe.

Now I like Bridgestones and I'll admit I've never seen one of these, but eleven hundred freakin' dollars for a scuffed, lightly corroded bike missing parts and with a suspiciously wonky front shifter? What the hell...it's my size so let me run over there and throw my retirement money at him so I can get this thing because the ad promises it is "pristine." Hell, for that price Grant might just buy it back from him. Oh, and he could have actually made the effort to measure it so he'd know what size it is.

condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Bridgestone

Up for sale is a pristine condition Bridgestone grand velo 2000 with all original sun tour superbe pro components and was a coca cola racing bike. The shifts are buttery smooth and the braking works great. I think it's about a 57 cm height. This is an incredibly rare bike and I believe it's made during the grant Peterson era. 1100 OBO.

From watching too many nose pickers or pawn clowns shows? Their stupidity amazes me.

The bike listed is a Puch Pathfinder. I know because I assembled and sold scores, maybe hundreds, of these things in the early '80s. I found this ad while researching some other A-D info. This bike sold for $170 new, not $800. Steel frame, steel rims, stem shifters, QR on front only, etc. I'll bet he'll take $350 for it, but it's not worth that unless it's the last Pathfinder in existence and in museum-quality condition. In other words, not bloody likely. I really hope some poor schlub does not pay that much for this bike.

Awesome light weight road bike in very good condition. $800 new 20 years ago, I will take $350.
Rides great good gears, tires.

Bob's Donuts is back with another But-Ful bike.... This time with a Surly 1x1 build. I wonder if he will ever learn how to spell beauty???

The Lemond I posted here several months ago is still for sale, having been relisted many times. Current

Surly 1x1 - $4995 (Eugene)

For a mountain bike, it doesn't look too bad. Single Speed? I just can't imagine a $5000 bike built on a $475 steel frame.

$4,400
This bike has barely been used. Was kept in storage for years. All original parts, even comes with serial numbers. Italian hand made, very light bike. Its the old ferrari of its time. Tires and rims and tubes never been changed. Everything just like if you purchased it back in that time. no modifications all original Italian hand made Bianchi camione del mondo bike. Only serious offers.

holden west

^But not a word on the tubing or components? That's what the owners would call an "Avant Garde Bike", as in avant garde clue...

Yay for paying more than stated MSRP for a bike that's been covered in reflective tape and has downgraded turkey levers. What's adding value here- the kickstand? The AM/FM radio? I also hate that they downplay the huge SCHWINN decal on the seat tube and pay more attention to the tiny "Paramount Design Group" sticker below the front derailleur clamp.

Of course they'll trade silver coins for it.

$570 new in 1989 at 23 pounds! Blazing fast with new Bontrager Race-Lite Hardcase tires and new Chain. Original BioPace 52/42 elliptical chainwheels + 2 smaller - for older riders like me. I'm 66+ now - haven't ridden this much since my heart attack - 347 miles - it rides like a LeTour on Steroids!

Sweet fast rare aluminum Paramount in great shape - 7 minutes from Lake Harriet or Lake Calhoun!

Handlebar-mounted CREE headlamp and DSP AM/FM/Shortwave Radio are included, cheapo pedals and plastic seat are not. I will include the original fuzzy seat - so you can resell as new!

SWAP for 2 tubes (40 ounces) of American Silver Eagles?

I especially like the torn faux-Grab On foam grips patched with electrical tape on a $750-priced bike. At least he spelled "lightning" correctly but it's not a Cannondale so would not be a Black Lightning anyway unless that happens to be his pet name for the bike.

Looks like a Burning Man bike - might have a chance of selling it if anyone is heading that way from Redmond.

It it would be pretty nice to have running water though. No more water bottles!

+1 for creativity...



Must be difficult to climb on and, certainly, with..:-)

jetboy 

be super cool if pedaling acted as a pump and made the spigot work.

Maybe a tank bike?
