    This is one of the more egregious examples. Good god. Anyone who pays that much for that heap should be smacked over the head with it. You'd have to be drunk on Leinie's swill to think that's a good deal!

    The best part is the amazing photography. Each photo adds something, and there is nothing left out.



    Edit: The gif is way too annoying to have right in the thread, I changed it to a link.

    Left side of the bike, no less! Nothing important going on on the right side! Heaven forbid the guy takes it off the damn wall!

    I walked into work today and this bike (or one like it) was parked in the entrance way.  After asking around, I know whose it is, but I'm afraid to ask him about it.

    $1300!

    I have a 1973 or 1974 vintage Motobecane with Reynolds 531 (not "c") tubing. While it certainly has been durable, this bike weighs very close to the same as my Blur LT. And my bike is a 56cm, if memory serves.

    Think about that for just a moment.

    On a slightly different topic, I thought the Waterford people were mostly former Schwinn employees.

    Looks like this is correct, perhaps Schwinn did some work for Trek? Or maybe the owner doesn't have a clue?

    At least it's in all caps so we know he's serious about selling.
