Makes sense too (from a frame perspective, not sure from a financial one - did that require a repaint?). Room for bigger tires than if it had been done with something more recent.

Little steep for my blood, even with there being a possible extra zero.

The electrical tape obscures how they kludged these two bars together. I'm not sure I want to know. Also, the bike can have "Fire Mountain" written on the top tube, and they'll still read the fork and call it a "PROGECT TWO JOE MURRAY"

I wonder if this seller ever actually sells something or if it's just tricking the wife into thinking he's selling his bike stuff.

Do they make thimble size water bottles for that front triangle?
Unique Homemade Pedal Bikes by Local Guy - $150 (Anoka, MN)
Facebook item: 441341285140473
These 2 Bikes were made by Me. The price is $150 for both .I want to sell both at one time.The long one was made in 1991 and the short one was made around 2010. The long one works well, just needs tire tubes replaced and the short one works except for a balance issue, but probably can be solved by making the fork go low and back up to the front tire axle.I have seen this on cycles with longer Forks.The short one also needs brake cables. The reaason Im selling is I am older now and am trying to remove lots of items from my world. These could be maybe used in fairs, parades or something just as an idea for their purpose

Not all that wacky, just sad. Two Treks and a Specialized in the mix for $20.
