Speaking of tandems, as we are in another thread. 
This is pretty cool, albeit mish-mash, still, a Lippy.

Thanks Merziac.
Those Lippy tandems come up for sale occasionally, usually in the Northwest, usually at very reasonable prices for a beautifully hand-built frame. Someday I'll get lucky and find one for a tall captain and a short stoker.

Saddle And Bars Level? Check.
Why not? I use most of my riders as clothes racks already: Coats on the Paramount and Pants on the Prologue and until recently, Shirts on the Ghibli.

Robin Hood Sports 3-speed bike, $25 @ Indianapolis IN area, CraigsList.
Might be restorable to a decent condition, for the right person.

I have a antique/vintage Robin Hood bike made in England for sale. Rides good and shifts through all 3 gears nicely! Has the springer seat but missing air pump.

Robin Hood Sports (Raleigh) 3-speed, $40 @ Minneapolis MN area, CraigsList.
I have a 1957 robin hood sports made by Raleigh Industries.
Downsizing a bit and it needs to go.
It has a 1966 raleigh wheelset with a AW hub. It orginally had a SW hub and the wheels were in horrible shape.
Newly serviced hubs, new bearings, newly serviced bottom bracket with new bearings. New cotters. New chain. Very clean for what it is.
Lots of patina and sun fade.
Shifts as it should. Nothing special but a good rider and low maintenance around town bike
Good rider for sure.
I still have the fenders which are rough and need clean up and also the original wheelset which is toast but both are yours if you want them. I didnt think they were worth keeping on the bike but i will include them.
$40 cash.

Seems low for these as they usually sell for more but seller claims not to know about the brand...

Phishing scam.
Hooked my attention on Boston area CL, and I posted here(2-3 months ago),asking pretty much what you just did.
Identical photos (copied and pasted, over and over and over apparently).
Same $600.00 asking price.
Recommend against responding.

If you do a CL search with a price range say $ 0 to $100 looking for deals then you get these $1 listings that pop up because that is what the price is listed at, it isn't until you click in the ad that you see that what they really want is $2300 so yes they do have the real price listed in the body of the ad but its basically a bait and switch as the listed price is $1. This happens enough I just start a $5 low end for my range to filter all that crap out/
Its a first world problem I just don't like the idea of saying its $1 oh just kidding I really want $2300 for it, just list if for $2300. Ok I will get off my soap box.

Mind games for the non-scientist.

And being sold by a local Atlanta BF'er no less, you know you're getting something special with this purchase! Owned by two different BF'ers I'm aware of. Maybe more!

Minty Cannondale Tourer
Amazing! I recently bought the same bike off Craigslist in a size 23", same minty condition. It's actually an '88 model, built in late '87, and my bike's birthday is tomorrow!
