^^^^^ Overpriced, but quite a nice bike that would fit a lot of small people who would otherwise be discouraged from riding.

Beautiful Mountain bike - $200
https://southjersey.craigslist.org/b...110712584.html_____________________________________________________________________________________
Needs back tired..bike is worth $750 with the back tired replace
***-***-**** Text Me
It's a GX7 Genesis aluminum
$200/b.o.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Not a mountain bike, but a cheap big box store cruiser
About $30 less brand new at Wally world at full price.
This ad has been up for a few weeks, the guy is counting on the bike shortage to make a killing on a
pile of junk. Until just recently I saw these in a few blow out ads for $74.99 in blue and $100 in chrome online. .
Genesis is part of the fine Kent family of bikes.

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

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...74606546387710
...now at $400 (unrestored). No low ballers.
When I pulled it up, Facebook Marketplace told me it was "far from me".....They have no idea how far.

This is more of a c&v guy's "I wouldn't uh done that" with the choice of brake lever (and hood).

I only use non-aeros, but know this is wrong.

This would be a pretty cool photo in front of the death mobile there if it at least had a different saddle.

I remember this bike from the previous time it was sold on craigs. The frame was made in New Mexico somewhere. Appropriately painted.

Nice little bike. Cute, quaint, groovy chainguard, etc., but missing hard-to-find parts for the front and rear lights. $200 on a good day when complete, but that run-on description lacking capitalization and punctuation is probably worth a few bucks.

The first thing I noticed on this bike was that the bar tape wrap was started at stem end (wrong way round IMO) ... and then I noticed the frame stickers! The seller probably had no idea what the peel off tape in the bar wrap package was for, and decided to just stick it on the frame. Hilarious, but not as funny as thinking that a Cinelli bar and stem represent the manufacturer of the whole bike.
...I've been throwing that stuff away in favor of vinyl electrical tape. I'm kicking myself now, you bet.

What bike? Sorry, I made a mistake. This was for the ad with the cheesecake young woman on it.

My advice to you is to start drinking, heavily.
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that car/reference. My post was more of a joke about those little lights the '70s Chryslers used to sport. Another "innovation" that never caught on.
