LOL I think it is the crank, you can't see the door handle on the headshot'. I agree the left CS looks odd too.

Unless there's a handle mounted on the very bottom left side of the door on a pivot point it has to be the crank arm.

that's a really sad looking bike.
Now that I am looking at it closely, it looks like an early 70s Super Course, so he is probably right about the 531 frame. That rusted lock is definitely a plus...

No, it's a Grand Prix, and it definitely doesn't have an ounce of 531.

Beautiful Vintage Cinelli Saddle - $325 (alameda)
This is a beautiful black suede Ci-Lux 3000 Italian bicycle seat from the 1980's. The saddle has never been used as far as I can tell. Priced for a quick sale.

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...561334186.html
am selling this 1976 Men's Schwinn Suburban for $500 in hopes of finding a collector that will truely cherish this bike for what it really is. And remember $500 is the winter price, and the price goes up from here on out. All I really know and can tell you about this bike is that it is totally unrestored and every part on it is still originall from the factory. Including the original Schwinn puff high pressure tires and tubes in 100% perfect condition. This is truely an unbeliveable biike with only 11 miles on the odometer since the day it was bought in 1976. It must have only riden around the block a few times and then was hung up in a basement away from the eliments where it remained for over 30 years. it is nearly impossible to find bikes this old in perfect original condition. One other thing that I thought to be pretty cool is that this bike is equipped with the FFSystem. (Front Freewheel System) And this ment that the freewheel was built into th crank rather than the rear wheel which I belive was to allow its rider to shift gears while coasting. A very cool option, and quite a bit ahead of its time if you ask me. Infact it makes me wonder why it is not still used on bikes today. Hmm???
Anyway my name is Josh.
Call me anytime.

The seller started posting this bike THREE YEARS ago. I'm interested, but I may be too old to ride by the time the price is down to a reasonable level. Started at $650 IIRC?,,,,BD

Its a A PETAL car. My ten year old knows how to spell and use pedal, peddle, petal - there, they're, their - etc. But then again we're dealing with a NASCAR fan.

"Comes to the name "lucky""
If it were near me, I would go for it, it is my size.
I thought it was just funny how he goes into a long list of broken stuff, then states "he doesn't have anything bad to say about this bike"
