The white bike in the trailer on the end looks like something. Looks like a Silca pump.

This is on my local FB Marketplace, I'm getting a Thule roof rack from him as soon as he recovers from a medical issue and I asked him to set one frame from this picture aside for me. It's nothing special but it's a chrome moly frame with forged dropouts in my size and since I'm making the drive anyway I figured I might as well give it a look. I know the paint will be in tough shape from being piled up with all those others but for my purposes it doesn't matter. Otherwise it was mainly old Schwinn Varsities, low end Taiwan bikes, etc.

The enamel was added by myself and is the second set I've ever done this way. The first sold way back in 2008 for $172.51; yes, I printed out that auction and kept it for posterity!
I have no idea what the ceiling will be this time, but it will be a fun ride to the end
No room for a drill bit anywhere!

Math seems off
Is it 53cm, or 23 inches? They're not the same...

Large not large. Third time this one has come up for sale and the ad text is different each time. Sounds like a hipster got it and now flipping it, and those "faux-denim" panniers are Eclipse Pro bags that will only fit that Eclipse rack and they began life as blue Cordura with no pretensions to blue-denimness. Not a bad price, though.

I Got One for Ya
This one cracks me up every time I see it. The guy has been trying to sell this on CL for about two years now.

Santa Cruz V10 2018 wife’s bike ridden only 5 times - $4275
Who buys a $6000 downhill-racing bike (and likely pays extra for 'the frame has been clear wrapped and also has an All Mountain frame protection kit installed') 'for a trip'?
Somebody with more money than sense, that's for sure.
Also I guess I'm out of touch with the downhill scene, but I can't believe a new bike of this pedigree is only a 1x7.
