Caliper brakes - the left one was difficult to use, would stick alot.

Simple gears... they were kinda jank (rusty, hard to tell what gear I was in, sometimes they changed long after I'd turned the thing on the handle)
Only one reflector on one wheel, can't remember which

stolen bike with a name on it?

seemed legit to me, but maybe not.... ;)
maybe I'm not gettin' what yer spittin' but,
It's reads to me that someone, possibly Jennifer, had their bike stolen and they took an ad out to raise awareness in hopes of it's return.

The '$1' is commonly used on CL to denote a notice (in this case a stolen bike) or solicitation For example, "Rear Derailleur - $1" could mean that someone is needing that part or "Carpenter - $1" could be someone looking for a job in the employment section.

It's just basically a means of trying to get someones attention.
And a commonly used and clever marketing tool.

Funny how anthropomorphic people get in describing machines....
Took me a day, and finally a look at the pic of the bike:

From now on when I mention...

CHIN - I mean chain
CHIN BACK THINGY- rear derailleur
2 NEW ARMS- crankset
THE THING- chainring, and or cogs
CUP HOLDER- everything else

Seriously considering going from grandsalmon to INAGOSTROBULL

(..actually nothing anthropomorphic going on at all, I've worn out....my THINGY, haven't you?)

yet another...

I think this thread is evidence that I spend too much time lurking on cl....

But I couldn't pass this one up. I think the poster is taking his inspiration from this guy:

Manly Bike for Sale

Bike for sale

What kind of bike? I don't know, I'm not a bike scientist. What I am though is a manly guy looking to sell his bike. This bike is made out of metal and kick ass spokes. The back reflector was taken off, but if you think that deters me from riding at night, you're way wrong. I practiced ninja training in Japan's mount Fuji for 5 years and the first rule they teach about ninja biking is that back reflectors let the enemy know where you are. Not having a rear reflector is like saying "**** YOU CAR, JUST TRY AND FIND ME".

The bike says Giant on the side because it's referring to my junk, but rest assured even if you have tiny junk that Giant advertisement is going to remain right where it is.

What could possibly go wrong?
Actually, those are pretty cool.
There are tons of old rails across the country that are now defunct.
Old mining routes, logging passages, just old railways etc. (the railbike system is adjustable to fit different gauges)
These tracks often pass through territory that is away from most major civilization and where there is not access otherwise.
Plus rails are gentle in grade and smooth so you can cover alot of miles and see alot of sights that no one else gets to see all that often.

Of course it is extremely foolish to use these on a live track/railway.:nono: :eek:

Understatement of the year!

Trek 6000 needs work - $125 (Huntsville)

The frame is in good condition and has several other good parts. I believe the shock is still in working condition. Please email any questions and include Trek in the title.

I agree, pretty cool and there is literally 100 miles of unused track where I live. But remember, even defunct tracks are on private land and you may find yourself in the slammer. Railroad Co's are very powerful.
