Looks like the bike has been up for a while too.
Perhaps the seller is ready to deal.
Even comes with the custom toestrap on the seat rails

Probably a good deal on a World Tourist, but I hope the seller takes the $15 and upgrades to a 20 year old digital camera.

But, beware when sellers say things like
back tire is bent but fixable
Yes... perhaps fixable, but taking work than many people in the market for a Next MTB are comfortable doing.

Oh, I thought that was a design feature. I'm too used to road bikes with a few extra curves.
Fortunately Next uses an aluminum/steel hybrid frame, so a little hammering, and it is as good as new
Unfortunately, I think the Schwinn is a 700c bike, and the Next 26", so one can't take two bikes and make one... at least in theory. I've seen a few thrift-store specials with odd wheel sizes.

vintage schwinn geraffe tall" unicyle 6ft
I always like it when the vendor supplies good photos.
Perhaps the unicycle (umm "unicyle") was too tall to get into a single photo.
However, you should be happy that the bike has "no leeks"
Now, if the seller could only figure out how to spell Giraffe, perhaps someone might even be able to pick the unicycle up with a search. (spelled both geraffe and jeraffe)

At least it hasn't been drewed and would be easy to put some drop bars on it again. But still...
56cm Serotta Dura Ace lugged steel road bike
[h=2]56cm Serotta Dura Ace lugged steel road bike - $999 (oakland lake merritt / grand)[/h]
For sale is an awesome late 80s Serotta road bicycle for someone in the 5'9" to 6'2" height range. This ride is a real head-turner, gets complements all the time with its black-fading-to-gray paint job. It's in great shape for its age.
Shimano Dura-Ace all over: DA headset, brakes, shifters, derailleurs, cranks. Wheels are Dura-Ace hubs laced to Mavic Open rims. Continental Gatorskin tires. Sweet pantographed 3ttt stem with "SEROTTA" etched into it. Comes with a WTB saddle, Shimano clip-in pedals, and an Elite bottle cage.
I've set it up with Nitto upright handlebars, but I'll include the original Dura Ace brakes if you want to change up the handlebars to the standard drop style.
Please include your phone number if you're interested.

Sometimes the bidding wars on E-Bay can get pretty vicious.

Do some people really think these 40 pound soft drink mountain bikes have collectible value?? I feel sorry for these people. Lovely home, but no sense otherwise.

- The seller has grown older and needs a more upright position
- The seller has been using this as an extremely nice commuter or around town bike and found upright bars improved comfort/vision

That looks to be in very nice shape. Full Dura-Ace, frame looks to be in excellent condition. The only thing it does appear to need is a proper set of bars. I'm going to suggest that either:
- The seller has grown older and needs a more upright position
- The seller has been using this as an extremely nice commuter or around town bike and found upright bars improved comfort/vision

Should a photography course be required to post on Craigslist?
Apparently this bike has a GUN Rack on the handlebars. Which would also be an interesting feature, if one only had a good photo of it.
I think this is the BEST photo of the handlebar rack.
Nice hunting bike
I'm beginning to think some of these photographers have too much experience taking selfies to post on personal ads trying to make themselves look 100 lbs lighter than they actually are.

No, not "fixable," but replaceable -- at a substantial fraction of what the complete bike cost.

That would be one heck of an engineering feet if it works. However, judging from the seat tube length, it might be quite a stretch to get to both the pedals and handlebars. Where are the brake levers and shifters?

How about this.
50% off for a savings of $253.35 on a set of Wellgo pedals. PLUS FREE SHIPPING.
Of course, other vendors list the same pedals for $17.95 without the discount.

Not Craig's list, but a second-hand store. Laughed so hard at the full-suspension MTB with a huge wire basket - also has a dog leash connection to the seat post. And they were asking $500 for this big-box store bike - I bet it sold new for $299. OH! Almost forgot the kickstand that is 4 inches too short.
