Uh...yeah. I wouldn't post that till I had the bike in my possession. If I saw something like that I would not be able to get to it fast enough.

This begs the question; are all Idahoans clueless, or just Boiseites?

Just buy it if it's real the seatpost is worth close to the asking price do you need to know more?

No great loss if you don't score it, with the brake cables mis-routed that'a way.

If so I need to do a market check. $75 for a victory seatpost is about 3x what I'd pay for one.

I'm surprised this is still available??? There are Boiseans that have a clue, if this guy would respond to e-mail, the bike would be sold. (I am some what suspicious of the asking price).

Cheers,
Chris

Holy smokes, I had a picture on my Flickr once of a nice bike. In the distant background there was a garbage can. It generated such a negative response I took it off. This picture could be used in a "poor marketing ideas" course in colleges. Very tacky.

Neat bike though.

Btw I would be amazed if that bike was ever really available at that price. So doubtful.
