Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

It's just a lower-end 'nago with a Shimano 105 groupset and Columbus Cromor tubes. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice bike -- but it'd make an even nicer FGSS. IMO.

Yes, American manufacturers definitely identified frame sizes in inches. And not just frames. Seat posts, handle bars, wheels and tires, pretty much everything.

Oh, and quill stem = goose neck.

Two things lead me the other way.

1. Brown drywall?
2. Carpet all the way to the drywall?

Dunno. I sure would keep it out of photos though.

Well yeah. If I'm photographing something I want to sell, I'd want the pic to be attractive to help entice the buyer. I look at that and think, "If he treats his HOUSE that way, how well did he take care of the bike?"

They look nice but man you got to wrench them down so hard to keep them from slipping or coming free from brake chatter, etc.

Bikes: Canyon, Bowman & Colnago

Am I missing something here? Was this bike ejaculated by Jesus, himself? Is that why someone is expecting to get $2,300 for a used Cinelli? I mean, what year is that frame, 2010? 2011?

Not missing anything- from where I'm sitting, it's just the typical Craigslist seller shooting for the moon.
