I found the post as hilarious as the asking price.
If anyone should be beat down, it is the fool who actually buys this hipster-ass thing.
now, I don't know this guy, but the wheels are probably worth about $400, and Alex at 20/20 I'm sure charged him $500 for them.

Note the "crimped" frame construction around the dropout..and the uh.. are those supposed to be lugs? Hey! Cottered cranks! And the "warranty"...
Priceless.
Thought I'd let you guys know, that this bike was just sold for 300. While I was prepared to go as low as $110, the kid who took it made an offer of $300 with the excuse that he couldn't get more from the ATM in a day.
Concerning the break routing, this was a result of loosing some of the break components. Thus, a routing that "pulled" the break lines into the levers was required. Gheto.
As much as you guys think these "idiots", including myself, wont or shouldn't get what they are asking for bikes on craigslist... well, you're most often wrong. Though, I did really appreciate the e-mail i received from the admin concerning my ad. Good fun.

So you sold someone a horrible hunk of shit that you were too inept to assemble correctly. Congratulations?

For your reading pleasure, here is the email sent to the cheesedick who sold a Koga Miyata for $350:
**********************
Congratulations!
Your craigslist.org advertisement for a Koga Miyata singlespeed for $350 has made it to the Point 83 message board thread on "craigslist fucktardery".
That's right. Your very own post gives us reason to believe that you are a fucktard. You might not be as big a fucktard as the fucktard who buys your piece of shit for $350, but still a fucktard.
Our reasons for coming to this conclusion:
1) Your asking price. Laughable.
2) Your cable routing. Please tell us you were drunk. No? Wow.
3) Cottered cranks! Oh boy!
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 "FUCK 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. I bought this bike for 300 dollars from a retired mercenary that fought in both World War 1 and World War 2 and had his right arm bitten off by a shark in the Phillipines while stationed there as a shark handler. When he sold it to me I had to arm wrestle him for the honor to buy it. I broke his arm in 7 places when I did. He was so impressed with me he offered me to be his son but I thought that was sissy shit so I said no way.
The bike has some rusted screws, but that just shows how much of a bad ass you are. Everyone knows rusted screws on a bike means that you probably drove it underwater and that's bad ass in itself. Those screws can be replaced with shiny new ones, but if you're going to go to that trouble why not just punch yourself in the balls since you're probably a dickless lizard who doesn't like to look intimidating.
The bike is for men because the seat is flat or some shit and not shaped like a dildo. If you like flat seated bikes you're going to love this thing because it doesn't try to penetrate your ass or anything.
I've topped out at 75 miles per hour on this uphill but if you're just a regular man you'll probably top it out at 10 miles per hour. This thing is listed as a street bike which is man-code for bike tank. The bike has 7 speeds in total:
Gear 1 - Sissy Gear
Gear 2 - Less Sissy Gear
Gear 3 - Least Sissy Gear
Gear 4 - Boy Gear
Gear 5 - Pre-teen Boy Gear
Gear 6 - Manly Gear
Gear 7 - Big Muscles Gear
I only like gear 6 and 7 to be honest.
Additionally, this tool of all immense men comes with a gigantic lock to keep it secure. The lock is the size of a bull's testicles and tells people you don't fuck around with locking up your bike tank. It tells would-be-thieves "Hey asshole, touch this bike and I'll appear from the bushes ready to club you with a two-by-four".
Bike is for 150 OBO (and don't give me no panzy prices)

look for a bare frame & fork Pista soon, probably for sale out in a nearby town. I can imagine how flabbergasted the seller must be. Talk about worst-case scenario!
