I frequently re-write titles for clarity. This time I'll give both versions (and the gibberish body copy) so I don't have to double post in the Wacky CL thread. Really loving the painted bull moose bars!

Nishiki Cascade - $99 (SF, CA)
miyata bicycle, baby light blue bike, alloy lightweight wheelset - $99

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/6009883921.html



Miyata will be a better bike than chains stores
Miyata has, it will be better and better:
alloy rims,
light butted cromoly frame ,
alloy crankset,
downtube shifters,
alloy seat post,
alloy handlebars, etc.
no rust,
great condition.
can use a tuneup
upgraded to leather wider seat for comfort

Hmmm... So recreational marijuana use is now legal in California?

I guess I haven't been paying attention.

You didn't mention it's listed at $125! Imagine selling it for $125 and then getting 4 figure offers later.

Only gives a phone number and I didn't get an answer.

What a deal! I really like the 6401 groupset on my one non-downtube shifter. And with ulocks! Can't get enough locks.

Abysmal photo- all I can make out is Nishiki logos on the fork blades, down tube, and seat tube. Does that connote a higher-end model? Graceful silhouette at least! I bet this is worth investigating.

The tubing sticker - Tange Infinity - implies mid-range.

I was curious and gave it a shot. A lady picked up and said it's an office number and she didn't know anyone selling a bike there, so a wrong number. Possible digit inversion in the number? It'd certainly explain why it's still up.

From the pic, I can make out the model name on the toptube - Prestige.

I might outfit them as co-op loaner bikes -

This is the second bargain-basement Cinelli listed by some prankster in the last two weeks. I did not contact the seller, as I did with the last one...
