I guess I should put some aerobars on the woman's Raleigh Record I've not had any success selling yet.

Not too underpriced... Here's a new one for reference:

This is a case of supply taking care of demand; economic forces at play here. Just think about the poor losers who get out bid on this. Nice crank and rear derailleur. Too bad there isn't more info listed about the components. I guess less info = more bids.

The ebay bike is different model than whats in the link. As far as I can tell the Ebay bike lists for $399 MSRP but it can found on Amazon .com $299.

ok now i get it...thats a very very bad deal! cheap frame, with a lot of old pricybrand name components...sounds like a fools game.

fiataccompli 08-03-09 02:37 PM

that IS classic. wow....ya' gotta use google when you're shopping, folks...c'mon!

I wonder if it still has the original "grip shifters" mounted on the bars? I don't see any other place they could be positioned (the brakes don't look like STI handles).

RobbieTunes 08-05-09 04:45 AM

A guy that sells tons of bikes (and bought two of mine) told me you can put aero bars on about any bike and it'll sell. Maybe that's true. A friend of mine just bought a mint Cervelo P2K, 9-sp Ultegra, for $600. I guess she should have been watching this Denali, instead....

All-in-all, that has to be one of the ugliest bikes I've seen on BF.

The twist shifters are there, just to the outside of each arm rest. :p

Those Denali bikes (along with other Walmart specials) are the Portland CL all the time for $100+ more than retail. Not a bad racket.

Don't forget, it includes a computer !!

I think it would be good for downhill timetrials. :lol:

Zaphod Beeblebrox 08-05-09 10:40 AM

i gotta wonder... is that really a 63cm frame? it hardly looks like it.

retrofit 08-05-09 10:47 AM

Heaven help you if you need a quick wheel change during your next ironman tri.

RobbieTunes 08-05-09 06:12 PM

It sold for $405 plus $75 shipping.

txvintage 08-05-09 07:05 PM

Must have been priced by the pound.

I'll say that as a triathlete, there are quite a good number of gullible folks amongst our ranks.
