    the lazy guy...

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    tries to sell his bike:

    http://providence.craigslist.org/bik/959188988.html

    Dude, take it down, and tell us the size already.

    Why do I doubt the he rode it as much as he claims? I feel a buzz just from looking at the ad.

    You're not kidding!
    Where to start?

    "... rode it twice and then haven't road it since. Lost intrest in cycling,after two rides he loses interest or should I say "intrest"

    nothing wrong with the bike. It has a flat tire, but it just needs to be pumped,How would he know this,being too lazy to take it off the ceiling for a proper photo?

    i don't have a bike pump There's a surprise other wise it'd be ready to ride right after purchase.

    Um what's up with the "Um"? As if he gave this some Deep Thought

    email for bike measurements and or other questions... "

    I'm tempted to email him and ask some questions...

    Zen, you may scare him with some questions..espicially if it is "what color is the bike?"

    Um this bike is simply no good....the wheels are supposed to be mounted on the bottom side of the bicycle so it can roll down the street!

    Tempting. But sometimes it's probably just better NOT to establish contact with certain people.

    Oh, I would feel totally confident buying this bike The least he could've done is rotated his photo before uploading it to craigslist. It might not have looked quite right, but at least it wouldn't be upside down! This is just too funny.

    That is hilarious. I wonder if he could even tell you what drivetrain it has? And size, are we supposed to just know from the picture?

    I've seen the bike in person. Yes its marine corp tough and you've got be one to ride one cause it sure is a manly bike and you need all the muscle power to move that tank.

    They could have lighten the bike if they had used NiMH or Li phospate battery but ohh nooo they had to be Marine corp manly so they used a car battery. No sissy's allowed and definitly not for the girls.

    I also vote that lisa need to send her comments in to the guy with the upside down bike.

    What a riot.
