What do you guys think of this frame? Looks like a very reasonable price for a nice older frame, even though it's not the "right" color.

1981 Trek Mountain Bike Frame - $20 (Saint Charles)hide this posting unhide
<image 1 of 23>
1981 Trek 650 mountain bike double butted Champion steel frame. 19". Some surface rust. Was hand painted with Rustoleum with a brush 15 years ago. Includes blackburn rack that I cannot get off without totally stripping the screw heads. One owner (me) bought new in 1981. Never wrecked. As is.
If interested please include your phone number in email.
Thank you, Carl

Not my size, or clip style, but a steal on some top-notch Marresi/Dromarti leather shoes. Size 46 but they run small. I have a pair of 48s that fit me, though I wear a 46 in Shimano or Vittoria.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but thought maybe somebody here would be looking for the ultimate custom mountain/road/hybrid/funk/rididfrontsuspension bike.
https://offerup.com/item/detail/324510546/?ref=Search
Some pretty sweet upgrades, like the bar end on the seat post to hang your, ummm colostomy bag? Bungee toe straps, bars and grips for short right arm top, and long lefty drop rider (with brakes on opposite sides so you can't accidentally brake), epoxied rigid front suspension for better handling, custom pvc stem cap, this list goes on. Stock kick stand.
Maybe if you've never seen a bike it will make sense.

Dunno enough about Nagos to know if this is a good deal, but seems cool. Might not be Italian parts but can't hate on Dura Ace. About to buy it just for that stem, hubs and seat/seatpost combo.

Crazy insane $65 OBO deal for Denver CO folks.
Vintage Motobecane Bicycle | eBay
Stronglight and Campy-NR equipped Moto Grand Record that needs some TLC on the frame, this is the kind of thing I pounce on locally! This would make an incredible $300-400 sale after overhaul, although I suspect a parts vulture will buy it and sell off this all-original gem in pieces (ok, hubs don't match, everything else looks stock).

Was looking at pics from the ad, the drive side dropout shows some porosity in the weld at the chainstay joint, I wonder if this was a repair?

N+1 Strikes Again
I know my profile says "I finally have all the bikes I need", but... well... you know how it goes.
Today is my birthday, and my family bought me this:
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/r...232916436.html
1995 Barracuda A2B
(link probably won't be up much longer)
How about that?

Love the asymmetrical placement of the grips and the jury-rigged "toe straps" on the pedals. The more you look, the more you think "wtf?".

OK there you go thanks. I didn't know there was a wacky thread but this definitely fits. I'm still trying to figure out if they've never seen a bike before, or if this is intentional, just to mess with people. If it wasn't a scurvy Roadmaster brand I'd buy it just to see if it's ride-able, haha.

I believe it's been said on this thread that the scam is to get emails and numbers to sell...or something like that.
