This one had been posted for a while. Had been trying to figure how the seat stays could be so bent with the chain stays seemingly straight? and how they would have bent them?
https://offerup.com/item/detail/1594127659
New ad was posted they seem to have "straightened things out"

We may need to give this seller a spot in the "Wacky" Hall of Fame - I can't imagine how many hours he has spent putting lipstick on this thing - If you click on his profile all the other ads for this bike are still there!
It's back, in a new form . . .

Have you made a separate thread for this CL sale in C&V yet? It deserves one. So much goodness!
Anyone know who the seller is? Bill Stevenson maybe?

I posted the link in the "eBay/Craigslist finds" thread here:
eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II
That thread gets a lot of traction. There have been over 260 posts in the week following.

Wait, which way is the $28 going? If that's what he's paying me to throw it in the trash for him, then maybe.
Here's my favorite part:
When the wood seatpost inevitably breaks (first time you sit on it), the protruding screw is there to rip you a new one. If the sharp spike of snapped-off wood isn't enough to get that job done.
This has to be a troll, right? Pretty funny though.
