I see lots of post with spell check issues, but that crankset is user error...

All original lemons buenos Aries shimano 195 group set and flights cineeli drop bars mavic CXP 21 wheelset minor wear but the paint job is completely fine I plan on. Hanging out the bar tape and probably upgrading the saddle would be the only thing this bike needs to give it that “complete “ look at least in my opinion but that’s for the new owner to decide it’s a little to small for me

I love how confident and competent the ad text is compared to the assembly.
Gravity Swift Hybrid Bike - $100 (Dayton, OH)
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8000582388927/
The Swift frame is precision welded from specially shaped lightweight and strong aluminum tubing. The tubing is Gravity's own special FBSeries tube-set. Look at the engineered top tube and downtube. This is designed for a responsive performance while maintaining a comfortable ride quality. The frame is a semi-compact geometry which allows for a bit more comfortable and upright position and easy straddling. Yet is still aero-enough for some serious riding if you tuck down from the flat bars. Powerful V brakes and rear rack mounts make this the great all-around bike. Porch pickup in Centerville near Schoolhouse park.
27” tires
Cash only please

^^ Amazing. I wonder if it was actually ridden in that configuration.

How is that left-hand-side cog attached to drive the wheel?

Being flogged in the far suburbs of Paris : an asking price fantasising that the right idiot & their money will eventually come along ... this seller must be an American with a "Pawn Stars" problem .

Viner with, um...exposure issues for $300 in GA. Might be worth it but not the 36" frame advertised and might be bent. And there is that Campy aero bottle cage.

I’m not going to bother posting a link. Apparently the 1 pic will entice a potential buyer. No other description.

Here's an odd photo. Barry is a frequent poster on the local CL, always with nice bikes. Can't believe he'd put this pic out there. He's probably my age so maybe his eyesight is going.
