Being in the Atlanta area, I am tempted to go see it...just for fun...and to get the seller's hopes up!

This probably belongs in the wacky CL ads section. I am thinking he could just sell it to the person that valued it at $4500 for $3000 and they would get a smokin deal. What a plan.

I would take a run at it if it fit.

Those shipping charges are a turn off as well.

Someone should offer him 250 crisp one dollar bills. I value them at $5,000.

Whoops -- sorry I missed that. That is within 1 cm of my ideal road geometry. Beautiful bike, but I'm supposed to be saving to buy a house....

Tandem bicycle Cream upright French mixte with Brooks's and an integrated bottle dyno / light, $600. Looks like it could use some derailleurs.

Cannondale RT3000 tandem Size M/S Ultegra 6500 & XTR, Hot-mustard yellow $1250

And between those there's a few Burleys and Santanas including the Santana with the add-on Softride and the 4-speed front that we've been ogling in the "wacky" thread

Miyata 1000 Vancouver - $400 OBO for Miyata 1000. ( looks like an early 80's) Has front & rear rack & appears to be in good condition. Seller just states 'all original'. It's 54cm which is basically my size but I just... don't really like that colour blue/aesthetic. And need to maybe sell a bike if I want to pick up another anyway...

Tandems are hard to buy or sell, and old tandems even more so. There is a VERY limited market for vintage tandems, even pretty ones like this. They often sell for surprisingly short money. As an example, I have watched similar paramount tandems not sell at swaps and ebay for $1,000. On craigslist? Good luck.

It's not that uncommon to find complete Santana and Bilenky builds for $1,000 and less.

I believe that 'Traut is still at Coco's Variety. One of the regulars on CR volunteers there, I believe. I'm surprised they haven't sold it yet. (They also have a nice Olmo, BTW.

OK, apparently it's raining Miyata 1000's in Vancouver right now. All posted in the last 24 hours.
Miyata 1000 - $500 for what looks like '89 or '91? Might be 58cm?
Miyata 1000 Touring - $375 for what looks like '81 (they've swapped to bar end shifters)
Miyata 1000 - $400 obo for another '81 but in blue. '54cm' Looks pretty prestine

Thanks leftthread.
I contaced the seller, and because of the photos being taken outside, asked him if this bike is kept outside. There is a bit of a language barrier, but he said it is kept outside. The photos don't show any rust (that I can tell) but now I'm not sure if I want the bike, or not.
Perhaps I shoud just go check it out - it's about 45 minutes from me.
