a) never ride faster than a brisk walking pace, or
b) just stop by running into solid objects and bending the fork, as with that poor Canny

There's a Paramount tandem on offer in Vallejo for $18000 but I suspect it's just a typo.

Looks like new BSOs, probably returned with problems. Still, could work out well for an industrious flipper.

Longtime readers will probably remember this bike from an earlier post when it was for sale for a mere $300. Looks like that guy found a buyer who's attempting to flip it. Still orange, still cute and the frame is still bent!

You get cranks, pedals and bottom bracket for $20. Also includes bottom bracket shell, and be mindful of the spot where he nicked the crank arm with his sawzall.

If the seller wants to deal with selling individual bikes, then he can unpack and tune the bkes.

Not wacky WACKY but wacky enough to me. These two flippers shoved the brake levers and gripshifts inwards and installed non-gripshift length grips.

I wouldn't mind having that Espree, it's my size. I have an '83 Espree but this one appears to be a couple years newer and better equipped.

I don't see it in the ad, but I would think that any repairs done with bike tools I loaned/gave a person would be done for FREE.
But, if a person had a bunch of bike specific tools, they also wouldn't be taking their bike to an amateur bike mechanic.

Re: Stolen Raleigh Tourist Resurfaces on Craigslist. (Sacramento)
It's obvious this person is an idiot. This bike doesn't look even remotely similar to the bike in the picture they posted. Their bike has a leather Brooks, missing the rear fender and the reflectors. You are defaming someone by putting their personal information on clist and you have no legit proof. Just because it's the same brand does not make it the same bike. Why would they put a 200 dollar saddle on it after stealing it. The saddle on it looks original, not like yours. Take this Bs down and actually talk to the people.
