Another cheesecake CL ad, I hope she gets her $34,000 or whatever she's axing. What are these people thinking, putting up an ad like this? Would not.
"It's Not About The Bike"?

Evil Insurgent (medium) - $3400

Probably better to rent that one than to buy. Looks expensive to maintain. Besides, can you imagine what all that paint will look like in 20 or 30 years?

^^^^^^ So the tradition of one person doing arduous work, accompanied by a couple of his buddies standing around watching, goes back a long time, evidently. My first thought is -- dude, put on some grippy gloves!
The sight of that cut off cluster, with the tell take 5 on the sticker, is cringeworthy.

Just pick a direction and look, you'll see that frame towering on the horizon somewhere.

Rust for a grand. Lots of rust for a grand, so it's probably a good deal.

At that price, it better have smooth cones. (No "bad humor" jokes, please. I worked hard on that pun!)
