Craigslist nightmares and dreams...

I can't tell from either his Pic or Description which World model it is.. World Sports around here don't sell at $50. If it were a higher end model like the Voyageur it would sell quicker at $50 in average stored shape.

I researched the Specialized brand, and these are quite pricey high-end bikes, retailing for upwards of 2$400. So I have set my asking price at $25, but I am more than open to offers. buythis bikeandmakealittlegirlhappy"

The ad says they prefer not to text,but will if necessary.I'm thinking I'd prefer not to text as well.

I wonder what it feels like to have more dollars than sense.

Blissful, I would immagine. But I would not know.

Had an old rust bucket 1967 BMW 1600 years ago. Fun to drive and very cheap on gas. Almost killed myself when single circuit hyd brakes blew and emergency brake was totally rusted and inop.
Car had "cute" feature of steering lock but it would jamb tight with ignition off. So I lost brakes and steering! Kind of like a modem Chevy Cobalt. Very expensive parts too. 1 rear u-joint (from dealer) was like $300!
Was fun but as I was and am usually broke, "not my style"...

Possible build off material with lots of rust!

I can only imagine the look on the face of the kid got that as a present.

 

[kingfish254]

I was thinking the same thing. It has such a Chuck Yeager or Bonneville Salt Flats vibe to it

 

[kingfish254]

It would be cool to build up a recumbent trike with this kind of vibe.

That would be cool.
I've thought about a x-wing style velomobile.

Clearly a Real Looker......

Isn't that a first generation Electra Rat Rod frame?

Or is it a Huffy Hermosa?

It's a dark pic but I think I see a gusset at the seat tube so I'll say Electra.
