Burley tandem. 53 cm captain, 48cm stoker. Nice components. No saddles or seat tubes that I can see. It looks like the handlebars are on the ground in the pic.
$350. Not a bad price for this sort of bicycle. Not a bad price at all.

This rare vintage collectable classic Shwin cruiser is a true collectors item & one of a kind. A real smart bike collecting man told me it's a pre-war skiptooth muscle bike & not to take less than $200 for it. Needs some cleaning up & maybe new tires. SERIOUS ONLY! NO LOWBALLS! If I have to repost it, I'm going to raise the price--that'll show 'em!

$40 for a 26" wheelset with studded tires! Too bad it's in Medford. I'm going there next Thursday, but I've got no way to get them home. Nor do I have any 26" bikes.
Surly Pacer frame with many parts, 54cm Surly Pacer, Bontrager Carbon Post, Cane Creek headset, Easton Carbon fork, 105 rear der with Tiagra shifter, 105 triple cranks with 105 front der and durace down tube shifter, Tektro Brakes, ricthey WCS bar with 3t stem, 100 miles tops on the bike and absolutely great ride. 450.00
I'd surmise that most or all LHT haters just have repressed feelings of fondness for LHTs and will one day break down and buy one of their own.... shit, didn't it happen to Langston? :)

Selling expensive-ass bikes in this economy is HARD.
Still haven't sold that? I'm surprised. $3000 for the Madone 5 series with Force is pretty reasonable. $4000 gets you one from the shop, and you only get Ultegra SL series stuff.
Madone's a nice ride, especially for long rides. Really all-day comfy for a race bike. You can't haul anything with it though, like a LHT. On the other hand, you're not going to win any field sprints on a Surly touring bike.
EDIT: I agree with you on the white seat part though. My madone came with the white seat, white bartape, white hoods combo. The OCD in me changed all of that out as quick as I could.
The killer deal is the 64cm P/R with 700C wheels for $169 frame and fork. 64cm seat tube, 63cm top tube.
They are so cheap because they were built with a 28.6mm downtube instead of a 31.8mm downtube. So they'll ride like 25 year old bikes (when 28.6mm downtubes were standard) instead of 10-0 year old bikes (when oversized tubing became standard).

How does downtube diameter impact ride?
A larger diameter makes the bottom bracket area of the bike stiffer.
A larger diameter one is probably less efficient (but this is very contentious and depends on riding style).
A smaller diameter tube could potentially result in chain rub when riding hard out of the saddle or potentially shimmy.
Kogswell tends to err on the side of overbuilt. This "SL" (super light...yeah right) frame has similar tubing to the Salsa Casseroll. The few reports that I've read from users of the new frame have been positive.
I really like the geometry of the P/R frames and they are very versitile. They are like a Long Haul Trucker designed to ride well with big front loads. If you buy this now and a rack when the Kogswell porteur racks come out then you'll get a full fork/frame/rack for less than the cost of most porteur racks.
