Craigslist nightmares and dreams...

[Lowe Beau]

I thought there was a reverse fork thread around here but I can’t find it anymore. But there’s plenty of reverse forks in this thread so I’m going to post this pic here.
Not sure who’s pic it is but they completed a “make-over” on the cruiser. Love how they kept the fork reversed, coaster un-strapped and no chain.

Edit: I never uploaded the pic.

Okay so I guess it is a thing…

No one noticed all the zip ties holding the front basket in the rear?!?!

Scam?

Not sure, didn't make it that far! It was 11:20 when I messaged and he told me I had until 12:00 to get it...on Saturday. I'm an extremely busy man!!! I messaged back at 11:36 asking where, he told me the details were in the ad... I was looking for a street address not a city!!! He sent a couple really snippy messages about how I should read the ad better. I offered the prostitute myself on main Street before I did business with him and wished him well.

I snoozed and loozed.

Currently on Marketplace:

1940s or 1950s Schwinn bicycle. All original, California survivor, original Schwinn seat, springer forks, headlight, bell, even tires look original. Tires are shot. Was going to fix this one up but have too many projects. Asking 250 OBO

So much going on here, it's hard to get my head around it.

@yoothgeye and @Sting Ray Lover are the first 2 I think of within driving distance but I’m sure there’s others

I've been using Facebook Marketplace lately, virtually the same plusses and pitfalls as Craiglist. Found this there-My latest dream, a 1946 Monark rescued from becoming lawn art! Before and after

Excellent save…seeing cool classic bikes made into yard art really gets my goat . There are actual yard art objects available that look like antique bicycles and they aren’t that expensive. Pardon the rant. Got a bit triggered

This is kind of a continuation of the now deleted thread "Craigslist Idiots" but with a bit of policing this time, it got a bit out of hand with posts that were just nitpicking or grammar. I originally started out to share funny stories and get a good laugh. Lord knows I have had a few really funny ones from being offered a live 3 foot alligator in trade to actually selling a 5 gallon bucket of doggie doo I posted as a joke. So lets keep it clean and have some fun and laughs.

Also if you find a good deal and want to share feel free to post it just put a note that it's a good deal.

Thanks and enjoy the laughs.
