Recently, in my local CL I see a lot more single sellers who are finding an old bike, stripping it of parts, converting to a hack-job fixie and selling them for $200 - $300. No cleaning of the rusty chain, no washing the bike, just pull it out of the dumpster, whack the parts off and call it a fixie for big $.
Some of them are actually interesting bikes that should be sold for $100 with all parts so someone can at least clean and use it. I bet these fools bin the old parts, leaving the bikes hopelessly hacked up. What a waste. It's like they have no pride or respect to actually clean and lube and restore a bike, even to make it a gleaming example of a fixie.
I guess if they are selling then I need to get into the business too.
