that that is is that that is not is not is not that true

Let's see you people punctuate that sentence so that it makes sense;-) And it will make sense if you do it right.

I'll be back.

Flowers for Algernon!

Okay so I'd be cheating, since I know the reference. Let's try a new one. Envision a scene involving the CL ad in the OP. Someone comes to see the Le Tour WITH ALL THE GOOD STUFF ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Customer: "That? That is...Is that...? That is NOT!"
Seller: "IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Customer: "Not."
Seller: "IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Customer: "NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seller: "That. . . " (seller sighs in resignation and drops head in shame) "True."
(potential customer leaves)
end scene

That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is not that true?

Sounds reasonable but that fork is still bent.

Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

Despite the fact that "Schwinn" is spelled properly in several places on the bike itself, the seller insists on spelling it "Schwin."
