"5 bikes" lumped together, as if they're even in the same galaxy wrt. type/quality. Everything from a Spiderman 12"-er to an Exage-encrusted Miyata:

5 bikes for sale or trade me all for a very nice one.

A different spin on the concept of rounding up the wagons. That's a lot 'o bikes, and the gentleman has his power-suit on (Gordon Gecko takes notes).

Not sure why he thought it was worth the listing fee to post a bike with obvious front-end damage. The parts aren't even worth that much.

From The Land Of The Giants
1979's DeRosa - $850 (Saxapahaw)
"Old school
1970's DeRosa Super Prestige
61cm
Dura ace components
Great condition just dirty"
https://raleigh.craigslist.org/bik/d...660795845.html
(I know, I know, save for the saddle, seatpost and stem, it's a fine red DeRosa, and the price may even be somewhat near fair. It has to be closer to 65cm. If a seller is going to present a nice rider in such a fashion, they should at least have the decency to essentially give it away. If I posted this before, please pardon me. Brain not working today,)

The language is full of words the definition of which has strayed from the derivation, often resulting in paradoxes. We drive on a parkway and park on a driveway. "Bikers" ride motorcycles, while "cyclists" ride bikes. Traffic creeps during rush hour. The one clean-shaven guy in ZZ Top is named Frank Beard.
