You probably already saw those photos, though. Forgot that not everybody avoids facebook.

Sure, the fork is bent. But compared to the wheels and the frame, it's quite straight.

I didn't know Salvador Dali was a frame builder!
Seriously, what a great way to test for impairment.
Cops set that bike up at a drunk driving check. Suspected drivers are asked to prove they're sober by riding this bike. If they agree to ride it, they're truly loaded....
I bet it has a hell of a back story

Rare, vintage Schwinn Waterford bicycle. I don’t know much about the bike but I know that it’s highly sought after. Make me an offer

That's pretty cool, I'm not sure that's such a wacky price. I bet the fork is wicker-wrapped steel. Is there an entire metal traditional double-diamond frame in there, just with plant-based cladding?

Nicely done, though, and those are aluminum rims, so that's a nice touch. I wonder whether the top tube is bent behind the head tube or if the frame was built that way.

That's what happens when you skimp on the duct tape
Edit: no link included with original post, doesn't show up on offerup so must be sold, agree with @2cam16 despite the stupid, probably a great deal

I'm sure a bit of duct tape would cover that

Drillium with attitude!
Lookit that seat post! No wonder the bike is light. No sign of further adventures with a drill, and asking the seller isn't likely to be well received as he says in the ad:
"Gitane French racing bicycle. Not answering questions. This is getting stupid. Very lightweight will need a lil oiling in the right places this will be a great road bike. $50.00 must state when when messaging me the word Read. All others will be blocked." Woo-wee!

Pick up a nice vintage road bike or find the seller's ex boyfriend? John, are you on this forum somewhere?
