That was my post. I was just trying to make somebody laugh (mostly me). But I did get an offer for $600!

Way to go then : )

Am I seeing things or did he not respace that hub and then spread his front fork to 120 to make it fit?


If so, it's about time we finally have an awesome entry in this thread again.

ouch.
cervelo p3 fixie is what the owner calls it huh?

Uh... that's not a perfectly straight on picture of the leader guys... chill.

You can see that the front wheel is not aligned with the stem regardless of the camera angle.

I posted on CL regarding some POS bike. No long rant. Just made fun of it and the other crap bikes the guy was selling. He emailed me:

Not sure why you r posting bad things about me. you r interfering with myt lively hood. I think we should meet and discuss this face to face. If u r such man to open your mouth when I've done nothing on cl to ever offend anyone. I've only ever treid to build resonab ly priced bikes for the community. U my friend do not know much.. why don't we meet tomorrow or this evening to further discuss this issue.. what do u say?

I figured u wouldn't respond to my first email. U ****** ass hipsters like to hide behind the computer. u never know who u r ****ing with like for instance a guy who has a cousin with the secret service who can trace cl postings or email addresses. OR a guy who loves to fight and doesn't know how to stop...But hey, if u like to meet up let's do it. -d love to meet u. Tonight tomorrow whenever. If not mind your business and think twice before u **** with a mans livelyhood... someguys take things to the extreme overe little things like this. Well..So to offend u. Hahah...talk

fork looks carbon, can that even be bent?

other than the risers, what's wrong w/ that P3??? Just like any other track bike that is being ridden on the street....

who spends 4 grand on a frame to only put risers and straps on it?

if I had TONS of extra cash, I probably would. Except I would put bullhorns on instead of risers. It would be fun to haul ass around town on that thing haha.

Except I would put nicer pedals on it, mavic ellipse wheels, a thomson stem, etc etc

Mr Cervelo is rolling over in his grave...

I'm looking at the seatstays; the one on the right is way out there; meanwhile, you can barely see the one on the left.

so ur the f***kr that's f***ing wid my livelihood??? we should sitll meet in face 2 face with my secret service bro cousin u hipster

to the people tripping on the leader, there is nothing "wrong" with the bike. The picture is all sideways.

If you actually take a look, you can see the seatpost is not centered, but on the left, which means the whole frame is angled, which accounts for the dropouts being more visible on the left than right.

And the wheel is angled also, which accounts for why you can see more hub on the right side.

We know. That's because the camera isn't perfectly in the plane of the frame.

Somehow, I think the front wheel on that leader is dished asymmetrically like a rear wheel on a multi speed bike

Found this on the General Cycling Forum. Poster wanted to know wtf?

this is a description of a bike on craigslist:

not safe.

This is a brand new GMC mountain bike, with good reviews, disk breaks, and dual suspension. I assembled it myself, and then never rode it. It needs to be calibrated and adjusted since I am not a bike tech. It is still available from Amazon for $250, so I'm asking for $200 - non-negotiable.

(Here's the link at amazon)

Thanks,
Josh
