Same, but one size too small or I'd be looking for a facilitator.

I think I agree with you. We'd need to see the other side to see if there's a mech for disengaging the drive sprocket from the freewheel.

Someone will know what this bonded aluminum frame is right away, but I have to hazard a guess. I'm posting more for parts value (tricolor 600 stuff?)

I'm fairly sure this is a Trionfo (Shimano Tricolor) with cheap brifters added.

Shouldn't be possible with any device. You're looking through the lens, either with a mirror/prism or an electronic viewfinder/screen.

More to the point, it's not like you have to wait a week to pick up the results at the Fotomat.

Make sure to look through all the photos on OfferUp. The first is one of the photos that pops up if you Google "Nishiki Funny Bike." The rest of the photos show the bikes needs at least some work, and might have fork issues.

That's what I noticed too but hopefully its just the picture angle. I've asked seller for more pictures.

You're right. Check out the frame angles and BB height in the smaller photos. Must make for an odd riding sensation with those super slack angles and that drop.

Not craigslist or ebay, but there may be interest here, especially if you're in Canada.

^ X0-1s are cool, but Bridgestone must have collaborated with Pinarello on the decals.
