A month or so after responding to a CL ad with no pictures just saying "blue French road bike for sale" I got an email back saying the bike was still available and that I could come check it out, with visions of pristine Peugeot's in my head I went down and was immediately disappointed when seeing the owner that came to greet me was a good foot shorter than me.
You never know what you'll find when you respond to those ads! My lower level, Bianchi mountain bike was described as a "Bianchi titanium frame road bike."
