Unbelievable! Dude, if you'd take like even ten seconds out of your life to do an internet search, you'd see that it's spelled "Bianchi."

I bought a bike to flip today. Sorry, just had to confess. I feel so dirty. I pretended I wanted it for myself and everything. Bad me.

Today I went to see a bike, the seller told me he removes all the front derailleurs because they get stuck. Also thought that the crack crossing the inner and outer head tube lug was fine. People sure are weird.

I thought so too at first, but they get the size about right, and that bike does look like it just got a new set of cheap tires. I really don't know.

^^^^^^ Actually, that would be a cool "Sting Ray for grownups", if it weren't for the ('wuh-wuh-wuhhhhhhh") step-through frame.

I hope this guy never finds out about mortgage backed securities.
Yeah, I was trying to make a joke. Guess it wasn't very funny.

Saw your initial reply, your joke was funny and good. I also saw s different irony when others commented on your spelling citation. As for inflicting this thread:

I actually like that Sting Racer for some reason. I remember my Stingray knockoff from when I was a kid. I would sit on the seat and swing my legs to the side in front to get off, so a stepthrough frame makes sense.

Unless the MOKAN area was inundated with Patron Tequila-branded BikeID-duospeeds, this very bike was on craigslist a couple years ago for the (comparatively) paltry sum of $150: https://lawrence.craigslist.org/bik/...141900108.html.
pre-p.s.- no, there are no drive-side shots.
Listen, it's neat: two-speed SRAM Automatix hub, decent components, very nice grips and saddle (and if I remember the original ad correctly, good rims and tires)... and I have to say I have a minor weakness for that [Anaheim pepper and lime...? what would you call it, plz?] green... but $750 is laughable for a dangle-it-from-the-rafters liquor store bike.

^^^^^ Something just occurred to me. How much you wanna bet the seller plugged "Peugeot" and the serial number in, and a blue book value for some random Peugeot CAR, for $2500, came up? I wouldn't put it past a sufficiently clueless seller to depend on such "research".
