Another terrible ad - but maybe good deal
New brakes, wheels and crank? - $100 - LA, CA
"Breaks Dia-compe.Crank is Origin 8. Rims weinmann 700*28c" - I thought the sticker on the rims looked like a Sun rims sticker? but he says Weinmann
"Two bike rims they're both 700 one crank set brand new the rims are brand new and two Center pool brakes that are brand new in the box."
2 listings - https://offerup.com/item/detail/1449894951 https://offerup.com/item/detail/1450053288

^^^^^ How'd he get it (and the tractor and the Radio Flyer) to stick to the wall like that? Esp. with an aluminum frame, obviously not some ginormous-magnet-behind-the-wall trick.

This one is cool to me as it has canti posts front and back for good braking with out a drag brake.
Unfortunately many of these are albatrosses now, you have to find one that fits and then ship it from where ever at great expense, then try and find the specific parts, none of that is easy.
Sadly, most anybody that is that serious won't bother with a C+V one of these.
I love em, cool as ef to me, can't find a good one in my/our size, yet.
Also, their ad saying they don't have time to answer questions will surely help keep this in stock for awhile.

I wouldn't read much into that "too busy to answer many questions" part of their listing, though. They're a charity, and likely depend on volunteers for much of their workforce. I'd guess that means they're sometimes if not chronically short-staffed.

They say as much in their spiel, and I get it, still not an ok look or pretext, they even backstop it with "do your own research".
If I saw this and was interested, I would expect them to answer any and all questions I had whether they want to or not if they want my help.
They obviously know what they have and are doing,with over 700 efbay listings with the same boilerplate is BS, they'll be happy to take your money but are to busy to help you spend it. I have encountered this before many times and realize its a business strategy that they are happy to help them spend my money.
