Might be a little better for you if you could post a link that actually took the person to your posting in the marketplace for sale section instead of having to copy and paste in a browser. Just click on the link in the tools area (or hit Ctrl-K on your keyboard) and paste the link in the URL field in the popup form and then click "OK" and you're good to go. If it doesn't light up in blue, you haven't got it right.

Here's the link that takes you there........

Onyerleft... Are you in Colorado?.. Let's see how it goes.. The bike is actually in Greeley..
I Also have amazing memories, because my best trips and adventures have always been riding this bike in nature..

I can't decide if you are a real person or a russian bot strangely disguised as a man whose lawnmower has been stolen.

​​My question is how he got by since March without a lawnmower.

I had no idea this guy replied with interest to almost all of the for-sale threads with this or other strange stories.. Like the gambling owed money to soon be paid back, etcčtera...
Is this a begginers joke,..? Since it's my first for sale thread,... I kind of suspect so...

HE replied to mine --- im buessing since the gent has been on here for 2 years and has over 400 posts, he likely genuinely appreciated these old bikes and wishes he could up a few of them.

But if it werent for that pesky lawnmower.

He needs to send a harsh reminder to those who owe him the gambling debts that "Squares get dealt with" though

- Oh, and you have a cool Ritchey so i wish you good luck with the sale !

Yeah, if this is some sort of initiation, he's the only one in on the joke. Whatever the case, I hope all is well with the guy, and you should take his interest with a grain of salt for now.

I know, right? I’d be mad if that was my lawnmower. I’d probably call the cops for theft at this point. Regardless, here’s another free bump! I legit love this bike but, for reasons a little different than Onyourleft, I am not in a position to buy. Lol GLWS!

Read his posts in C&V.

Or for fun, just narrow it down to the C&V Sales forum.

check the lawnmowers forum to see if his bike is being held ransom by the bike shop, otherwise he would buy that lawnmower in a new york minute!

When is somebody going to post a C&V lawnmower here? I'd like to see their response.

That said, this is a really cool bike. GLWS!

the Major hurdle is no shipping. Solve that, and things will break loose.

I would have happily traded the bike for An SMC Takumar 85 1.8, to keep the deal cląssic and Vintage... But seems complicated...

I still really like this bike. If shipping had been available at the time of the original post, I probably would have purchased it. I have no need now as I built a bike to cover what I would have used this one for. It still piques my interest, but not likely to happen.

IF You can arrange the whole thing,then yes..but they would have to pick Up the bike and prepare It for shipping themselves.

Is there a member near Windsor that could facilitate the shipping for another member? Please post here. There are a couple of us that have interest.

You might try posting your request in the Facilitator thread stickie. More likely to find a willing member there.
