Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Specialized Venge Mclaren

Hey!

Here is a link to a great deal :wink: Specialized McLaren for ONLY $5,200!!! brand new.

https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bid/3984684321.html

No, kidding. I contacted them since they said they were in atlanta so I wanted to go take a look at it and maybe buy it right? Well it turns out that there is no way of seeing the bike since they ship it from a warehouse in Japan right to my door!

He also kept insisting on how many I wanted... Wasnt sure if I wanted 3 or 5.... what you guys think?

Either go big or go home. Any chance they would accept a COD?

I think its a fantastic deal. You just give him $5200 in cash and wait until the bike arrives at your door? Couldn't be easier.

The logo shown is of Surf City Cyclery in Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa in SoCal. They are local shops to me. I wonder if they know that a scammer is using a picture from their store for scamming purposes?

I actually know of a person that bought a bootleg S-Works Tarmac.

He went to the bike shop to get the bike built up and the manager told him that the frame was a fake. Showed the Spesh rep the frame...gave Specialized the info on the guy he bought the frame from...and Specialized gave him a Tarmac Pro frame in exchange!
