BMC for sale

Not a bike, the entire company.

Article mentions Pinarello is also up for sale.

If you’re willing to take on a partner, I’ll add in $100 and double the seriousness of the offer.

Sure I am happy to partner up. PM me with a video of your handshake (just to make sure it is hearty enough) and let's make them a serious offer. They can't say no to two dedicated enthusiasts who will see that brand towards record profits. I have ideas that will sky rocket them to the moon and back with enough fuel leftover for a whole second trip.

Sounds to me like an opportunity for a joint venture! I'm in for $100.

Just to let you know that the video handshake is not binding in any state, and would suggest that you use a scan of your pinky swear instead.

I'd also to advise you to sweeten the offer with a pizza (no pineapple) and a six pack. And a 3-box assortment of Girl Scout cookies,

For $300 I’ll sell you a slightly used bridge in Brooklyn. Added bonus is that one of the former car lanes is now a bike lane.

Shouldn't this be moved to the Group Buy forum?

Oh no I just wanted a video to check the caliber of Eric F handshake before we go into the deal not as part of the contract. If it were for that a pinky swear is the only way to go.

Pineapple on pizza? This isn't Uncle Crazies Luau Hut? Pineapple is delicious I love it but if you are going to bake it pizza is not the place that is why they have pineapple upside down cake which is delicious and if you use the correct Luxardo Maraschino Cherries and some good liquor you can really elevate it further.
