The line about "garage kept" means that THAT bike was kept under a tarp behind the garage, is the way I read it.

It has Shimano SIS derailleurs, which were the first derailleurs EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD! It's really RARE, being as they only made 4 bikes in 1994, and this was one of them, so that's why I'm asking for five-hudndred dollars FIRM. Sure, you MIGHT find one of these at a yard sale for $20, or even in the trash, but that wasn't GARAGE KEPT. Or, at least, behind the garage, with a tarp on it..so..IT"S VINTAGE! * "Sweet, VINTAGE Huffy..." * "perfect for riding around as a city beater, or converting to a fixed gear bike, that I hear are so popular nowadays." * "It has Shimano SIS derailleurs, which were the first derailluers EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD!" * "It's really RARE, being as they only made 4 bikes in 1994, and this is one of them, so that's why I'm asking for five-hundred dollars firm." * "Sure, you might find one of these at a yard sale for $20, or even in the trash, but that wasn't GARAGE KEPT.

Road bike - $195 This is a Excellent Road Bike, it nice and clean. all original collector condition the bike is ready to ride, i know this bike is wost your time coming... it will fit some one about 5'5 to 5'9 roccobike 03-25-08 05:47 PM 3 Attachment(s) I'm not sure who's the bigger numbskull, the guy who built this or me for buying it. :rolleyes: http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/m...00wBars001.jpg The original owner had back pain so he decided to add chopper bars and a super wide cruiser seat to this otherwise original Cannondale SR400. When the bars would not fit the stem, no problem, a little duct-tape and we're home free. It sounds crazy, but the tape actually worked, the stem was tight. Check out the name on the cruiser seat. Hey, at least its a high end cruiser saddle! I'll betcha I can flip it on CL.;) tradtimbo 03-25-08 06:00 PM Originally Posted by Squeazel (Post 6403506) I need to add a no-brand-name ashtabula-cranked POS to my collection, for sure! http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/618206026.html Really New!!

Hey, at least its a high end cruiser saddle! I'll betcha I can flip it on CL.;) OK, I paid $100 with the correct bars, nearly new Shimano SPDs and nearly new Specialized MTB shoes. I lol'ed when I saw that saddle because I just sold a Raleigh cruiser with the same couch. I he to admit it was comfy, but I'll bet it weighs as much as both rims on your SR400...

One was a mid eighties Nishiki with ape hangers, full chrome fenders, spoke reflectors all the way around, a 26 x 1 3/8" back wheel and a normal front.:eek::rolleyes:,,,,BD SweetLou 03-25-08 10:28 PM Originally Posted by StephenH (Post 6398923) "Can someone help me understand these measurements?"

Rabid Koala 03-26-08 02:09 PM Why trifle over details? http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/bik/619590827.html i he a bicycle - $100 Reply to: sale-619590827@craigslist.org Date: 2008-03-26, 12:49PM PDT for sale- thanks * Location: esco Chris_in_Miami 03-26-08 07:18 PM A nice pair of Cannondale hybrids in the metal that made the brand famous: titanium. Bikedued 03-26-08 07:27 PM Anyone want to take a guess what name brand he scratched off to ask $20? I'm thinking Huffy, or possibly Bell. He says it's "a little worn". lol.,,,,BD http://houston.craigslist.org/bik/616066365.html cudak888 03-26-08 08:38 PM ---CURMUDGEON WARNING, serious Craigslist nagging below--- --------------------------- http://miami.craigslist.org/bik/619368092.html Can't read the headbage, eh? --------------------------- http://miami.craigslist.org/bik/619865355.html Don't email you? I'd like to see someone try...after all, you didn't put an email address up in the first place. --------------------------- http://miami.craigslist.org/bik/619618206.html I thought the days of $100 Schwinn Stingray OCC Choppers were over - even for the Numbskulls. --------------------------- http://miami.craigslist.org/bik/619999663.html You wanted to use it for the entire '07 triathlon season, but couldn't due to a knee injury? That's all well and good, but why did you buy "a new bike, which [you] plan to use for the rest of this season?" Either you're lying, or you really can't bear being on anything but the latest fashionista triathlon machine, eh? --------------------------- -Kurt hxzero 03-27-08 01:36 AM What I don't get is why all these owners of high-end tri and road bikes never put a size with their listing. That's one of the first things you look for, isn't it? Like, if you were selling shoes on Craigslist, you wouldn't just say, "SHOES - REALLY NICE - $100" without mentioning the size. This gets me every time. AHemp 03-27-08 09:56 AM Originally Posted by Bikedued (Post 6411167) Anyone want to take a guess what name brand he scratched off to ask $20?

Yah, right Jackass.... Sure is odd that this is the 5th time that "Flybikes" has listed a fake bike this year....And, whenever they list a bike it is "Too big for me" or "Too small for my girlfriend" :rolleyes: http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/620890541.html cudak888 03-27-08 03:40 PM Originally Posted by bigwoo (Post 6416491) FAKE SCHWINN PARAMOUNT "I bought it from an old track racer..."
