Worst of ATX craigslist #4 Cruiser addition

Ok, so I know that it is summer and everyone wants to jump on a bike and go, and why not, I mean it is beautiful the sun is shining and you have nothing better to do. Now some people may not have a bike already so they either go to their LBS or to craigslist. Over at craiglist, you can maybe find some deals, but most of the time it is stupid people like the ones that follow that try and rip you off.

First up we have,

Custom Painted Electra Cruiser - $400 (Barton Hills)

Nexus 3-speed Electra Cruiser, custom paint, Stream Ride edition.
In great condition.

Call Stephanie at 512-924-xxxx or email.

Well, well Stephanie. You have a bike with a "custom paint job", but the thing is any of those electra bikes are gonna have a "custom paint job" that is they way they roll off the factory floor. Just in case if anyone wants to purchase this bike, you can get one from your LBS for cheaper than what Stephanie is selling it on craigslist for.

Next up,

Very cool, new Hod Rod Trike for 2 to 4 years old - $162 (North Austin)

Okay....we get it. You want your son to grow up and be like daddy and want to race and drive hot rods. This hideous eyesore weighs 26 pounds...that is more than my bike, and it is 56cm. It is also made for a 2-4 year old kid. Now I am sure that if I was a kid I would wanna be like my hot rod dad too, but come on....this thing is almost as bad as this.


Now lets not forget this guy,

Awesome Raleigh Retroglide Cruiser - $300

This bike is awesome. I bought it back in 2005 brand new, fresh out of the catalouge.

Well, first use spell check. Second, if any potential buyer would go and look at the newest catalog, they would see that they could get an '08 for cheaper than what they are selling this one for and still have some money to go and buy a nifty new lock and basket.


You gotta love craigslist.


til next time
