Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

I can't afford to buy that Columbia, but I'd like to ride it.

Looks legit too, I think he might be better off on eBay.

Looks like a repop to me. Peddles with reflectors, crank looks more modern / mass produced, and it's just way too clean.

You're right, I missed the reflector pedals, and I just noticed the phillips head screws in the tank.

isn't the 'built by the makers of Columbia bicycles' sticker the dead giveaway that this is a repop?

Good eye, Also if you look close you can see kinda a transparent film around the Columbia decal. Obviously either a water slide decal or sticker.

I love this sales pitch "THIS IS FOR THE RICH PERSON WHO HAS IT ALL"
There is a reason rich people are rich, they don't fall for repops presented with embellished stories.

They have no price on it but I called the guy and he wants $4995 for it.

That little motor must hide a busa drivetrain!

Busted! Somebody posted this on C/L in response to the ad. The orginal price had already dropped by $500.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

That's horrible, but at lease actual old stuff pops up around you. On my CL it is ONLY (for real) Walmart stuff from the past 10 years and overpriced roadie/MTB stuff from the past 5 years.
