Lame frame for a lamer price. At least it has a "custom fork"!

I agree. Both have badly bent forks. Both sellers are deluded.

One of the more funny CL postings.
This is a brand new front rack. I bought it some time ago and cannot remember where. I think it may have been from Nashbar or Performance Bike or some garbage place like that. Anyhow, I don't need it, never used it, but it's still a good item. With a bungee cord it will fit a six pack perfectly. You can put a small child on it, get up to speed, then stop suddenly and watch them fly off and eat it. You can perch a hungry wolverine on it and time how long it takes for it to rip your throat out. You can have a clown sit on it and clear traffic with "the scary clown bike". This rack has many uses. Come and get it. As my Italian grandmother used to say, "You sonofa*****! Itsa real nice!".
Email back or call/text to 61five-5zer0zer0-18six2
Thanks for looking.

You would think the delirium surrounding the Hummer mtb's would have SURELY worn off by now? Nope, it's still alive and well, and apparently not yet medicated. These bikes were never worth half this amount IMHO.,,,,BD
I looked them up, and found an article stating they weighed in at a "SVELTE" 29 pounds? My 1988 High Sierra weighs less than that, with a steel frame, fork, and bullmoose bars.

Marilyn Monroe & Sophia Loren were both called svelte. Check out pictures of these lovely ladies- neither look like they turned down desert very often.

It's actually sort of a cool bike, but does he really think he's getting over $1,000 for a made somewhere else Paramount?

My friend was given a Montague folder. Rides like an overweight low-end mountain bike. He prefers the late 80's GT Outpost we found in a dumpster.
Marilyn Monroe & Sophia Loren were both called svelte. Check out pictures of these lovely ladies- neither look like they turned down desert very often.

Marilyn and Sophia were both lovely ladies, indeed. Looking back, they still were. It's only media hype that has skewed the "ideal" woman into a stick figure.,,,,BD

Wow, I need to grab this one before it's gone! It's got those classic crimped dropouts and everything! I actually considered emailing this person let him know why he won't be getting any responses. But he'd probably think I was just trying to haggle down the price of his rare and classic find.
[h=2]Old Italian Bike - $150[/h]This was an interesting find! It would be an amazing buy for people who love restoring older things or people who just love bikes!
I'm only asking for $150 cash only
Email me for more pictures and i'll be glad to get to you A.S.A.P.!!!
Thank You!(:
