He's a expensive seller, he's motivated to rip off the buyer to get prices that are just too much for a certain bike, but if the right buyer has been looking a long time for the right bike and hasn't found it and this seller has it no telling how much a person like that is willing to spend just to have a particular bike, and that's what this guy is doing, hoping for the right motivated buyer with money. I see nothing wrong with that, would I buy from him? no way, but I'm not that desperate to find a certain bike, he's just operating a business the way he sees fit, I know he's sold a few bikes way overpriced but like I said before the buyer wanted a specific bike in a specific condition and was willing to pay any price for it. I listed those two bikes here because someone here with the money may have been looking for one for years and doesn't care about the cost.
It just takes a while to find a buyer that wants to pay him well for his time spent working on them.
And the buyer should understand that if they want to recoup their money spent on the bike they'll have to carefully hang it on a wall and expect it to take a long time to resell at the price paid.
Or just pray for a big increase in demand.

Waterford RS-11 60cm
[h=2] Waterford RS-11 60cm - $600 (Cleveland)[/h]Pedals, bag, seat, ciussi cage NOT included. I can put on generic pedals and seat if wanted.
For local pickup within 100 miles of 44119, might ship if you pay for it.
Rides great. Light and smooth. Shifts are crisp, ready to ride. There are a couple paint chips but no dings or dents at all. I just bought this last week it was advertised as a 54cm, it is just too large for me. I may trade for similar steel ride in 54-56 size range.

Really crappy ad and it looks like the fork, bars, and some components are not original. But someone might still be interested in the frame and some possibly nice components?

How about this Tommasini in Denver? Very well priced at $800 plus it comes with a Tommasini jacket!

It can barely and meticulously be packed into a box which is 26" by 26" by 10 inches, the maximum size the airlines will allow and not be oversize. The weight of the bike doesn't change just because it's in pieces. Mine is packed and ready to fly north tomorrow afternoon. Part of that seeming high price might be related to the packing of the bike. It's an art form.
Anyone ever ridden a bike with couplers? What are they like?

"Tallest Production" at 28" frame. Panasonic made several models in this size and I sold a few. Post-assembly test rides could be tricky. For "tallest" try Googling a pic of Bill Walton and his customs.
Here's a Paramount PDG7 with 650 wheels that no one has snapped up yet.

Older Schwinn paramount. Awesome bike I just am ready for 700 not 650 wheels. Great for female beginner triathlete or cyclist. I used this bike for my first and only beginner triathlon season 3 years ago before babies came. I'll answer questions I know but would be best to come check it out. Thanks! Just got tuned at Endorphin fitness

I don't know if it's a total ripoff. The bikes do look pretty nice and he says he put a lot of work into them.
It just takes a while to find a buyer that wants to pay him well for his time spent working on them.
And the buyer should understand that if they want to recoup their money spent on the bike they'll have to carefully hang it on a wall and expect it to take a long time to resell at the price paid.
Or just pray for a big increase in demand.

I'm tempted to see this bike in person myself. I'm more comfortable on a bike with a touch more seat tube, and a slightly shorter top tube. Does anyone have any familiarity with the RS-11 model in particular?

On a moral basis he's ripping people off, on a technical basis he's not. I don't know how to explain that. Like I said earlier put into a different way, if I'm looking for something and no one else has it and I need it bad I will pay whatever it takes to get it knowing that I'm being ripped off. I hope that made sense.

This has been on CL for two weeks. He just dropped the price to $400. I almost drove to get it, but 6 hour round trip was just to much. $300 and I would have been in the car, but he had 5 calls today and won't budge on price. It was his dads bike, been hanging for 10 years. He knows nothing about bikes, so a bit hard to get details. Looks like an '87 or so world champ frame(Stephen Roche), though I couldn't find any other pics with full chrome rear.
