Additionally, how many bikes did they put that same saddle on?
Yoothgeye, you know when you seen that you was thinking of what parts you could snag off it

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

I love this line from a local CL ad

"Panama jack beach cruiser orange and brown. Few rust stains but brand new other than that asking 150 but can take offers "

Did these even cost $150 when they didn't come with the Free Like New Rust Stains? :mrgreen:

$129 new at Walmart.
 
Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

I guess now that it has rust, it must be old
If it's old, it must be a Schwinn
If it's a Schwinn, it must be worth more money

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories
