^^^^^^ Flagged for removal. Nothing remotely C or V about the bike anyway, from what I could tell from the screen shot.

"It's the only way I can lay down my true horsepower and still have a bike when I'm done."
What do those symbols mean, any guesses?
What is the product of questions and women??

I see the engineering in it now. That red disc is the cog, and it's huge. You can get going, but not too quickly.

"Only best parts used"
Looks like a run-of-the-mill cr-mo frame with really long geometry, plastic pedals, typical multi-coloured cheapie fixed wheelset... all for the bargain price of $2000

$400 in Tim Hortons is what, hm, about $320 US? For what appears to be an exceptionally clean all-531 DB handbuilt bike? If it had a LaPrade seat post instead of that cheapo clampy one, and a Suntour or Campag RD, that price wouldn't be out of line. Weird what a wide range of components could be had on these bikes, even when new(-ish).

Ignoring the Brooks we see this in Southern Ontario all the time. I stopped flipping them because I was buying them for around $100 Canadian (without Brooks but usually with similar cranks, brakes and brake levers etc), cleaning them and rebuilding them and then only getting $150 on a flip.
