Local CL ad that I'd definitely consider JA.
Aventon Fixie - $700 (Columbus)
Moving out of state in a few months and would rather sell than take with me. Not ridden much, less than 100 miles on it. Cool bike, gets a lot of attention and rides great. 60cm frame.
Parts list:
Aventon Mataro Low Track Frame
Cervélo Wolf carbon fork
3T carbon steam
3T carbon seat post
3T carbon bars
Cinelli bar tape
Vadder saddle
Pure Fix 60mm wheelset with HED stickers
Continental tubes
Continental Gatorskin tires
Sram Courier crankset and BB
Mojo chainring 50t
A quick search shows that fork was recalled for a safety issue and those fancy wheels are just pure fix wheels with stickers on them. WTF?

At least they're being honest about the wheels. I'm not sure why they think they add value, but apparently they do since the asking price is almost $250 more than what a new mataro low from Aventon costs.
But selling a bike with a fork that was recalled for a possibility of the steerer tube cracking is messed up! I'm thinking of messaging the seller today and telling them. Maybe they don't know about the recall.

Sadly HED stickers are a little slower, he should have used some Zipp Speed Weaponry to really go fast that or Disney Princesses, Pound Sign: AeroGainzAriel
At least the kid did a decent job putting the stickers on.

Their poses are as bad as the outfits. Both of them.
Oh, and if you are going to walk around with legs like that, you need to pick up a dumb bell once in a while to balance things out.

The house is JA as well. The vent goes all the way to the floor, interrupting the base boards. The trim at the bottom of the mini door thingy doesn't match because they ran out of room because their measurements are all effed up. The door and vent aren't lined up with each other. And the chair rail is all goofed up too. It's as if they tried to do a crap job.

Don't forget the electrical outlet that appears to be waist high, sporting a nightlight and an adapter of some sort. Just sitting out in the open there.

Definitely a "luxury apartment".
If you look closely you can see the bottom portion of the walk under the chair rail is paneled as well. It almost looks like they ripped out an entire section of wall to put the HVAC stuff in, then lazily "repaired" it and gave zero Fs about it matching perfectly.

They were Tri-ing too hard. I would run or swim from that bike.
Too be fair I don't wholly hate Triathlons, John Joseph is a triathlete and NYHC as fuxxxxxxxx and I love listening to him talk about his life. Cro-Mags forever!

Because all complexes these days - unless it's literally in the ghetto - always advertise as "luxury apartments". They toss some crap granite counters in, with low end appliances, a few ceiling fans maybe and laminate floors and access to a gym and boom you're paying $1500 a month for crap.
