Not sure where to post this so I guess here is good, want some members looking for that oddity that's cool to see this one; http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/bik/3651374385.html
The price seems kinda high and I don't need the extra wheel yet so I am going to pass.
That is really cool. Agree on the price though

Here's an ad I can appreciate, short and to the point: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/bik/3665657041.html

Bet "Jerry,:" wouldn't see the humor in it!

Jerry was Gary's "not so well known" older brother who never amounted to much in his parent's eyes after the shadow from the younger brother was cast in the bicycle empire. Jerry tried to achieve approval from his parents by setting out to produce his own line of bikes, but balsa wood frames were, and still are, way ahead of their time. Their weight savings were amazing, until the rider mounted one and things usually did not go well. For the riders with the ability to ride them without splintering one, the issue lied in the pedigree of the wood used, for on the first little jump the bike would take to flight like those little dime store planes. Just like the planes, the flights were spectacular, but the landings left something to be desired. The impending lawsuits never helped Jerry's image in his parent's eyes.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

While searching Craigslist early this morning I found this "1989 reproduction phantom" priced at only $600. What a steal!! Good for some great lols. Looks to me to be a '03-'07 bike store schwinn and far from even a repop phantom. If I remember right these were selling for around $275-300. Here she is in all her glory
