I was kind of hopeful at first, as it wasn't completely obvious whether it was a guy or girl.
But, sure enough, he's a "road bike guy."
I can see this as the beginning of some kind of horrifying news story that shocks the cycling world.

It would be a bit of a drive for me, otherwise... Hell yeah! I'd do it for the bragging rights (?)
"Yeah, I got this bike by stripping down for some creeper in Dallas."
How badass would that be?

Ok, wow... Check this out. I went to email the guy, and this is the anonymous email CL gave me:
sale-3gayt-1294094312@craigslist.org
Coincidence?

Make sure to wear a pair of biking shorts too. Maybe he'll give you an old Craftsman weedwacker while you're there.

Reminds me of a voicemail I once received from a female friend of my now wife. "Hi there, stud, I need a shelf put up in the bedroom. Don't forget your tight white t-shirt and tool belt."
Frank, Fred, there both, oh so close on speed dial. And, we know who Frank is.
Anyhow, sounds like you found a nice perv who wants to clear some stuff out. Just, don't except any drinks from him, or anything else for that matter, or go into the house, or,............
Well, grab the bike and run.

Is that a downtube shifter in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

****, if it's a bike that can be sold for a decent amount of money, I'd be all over it. I'd take off my shirt for money, so why not for a bike that will become money?

You Know!? For Kids!
BTW, I live in Dallas and ya'll can come over and clean my garage naked if you want, but you do not get my bikes. I will give you a beer though. Two beers if you get dressed first.

CL is removing the ad. 
Do you have a screenshot of the original ad?
