"All three wheels can be run in every position on the bike."
the wheels are interchangeable. if something goes wrong with the rear wheel, it can be swapped out and replaced with the front in an emergency.
given that this bike was designed for polar exploration, having redundancy like this is probably a good thing if it saves you from becoming a popsicle.

Lets post ideas it'd need a natural progression. Here are some tougghts in no specific order:
-do you have a matching 27" wheel for the rear, i really like to only carry one spare tube size.
-is the ball sack included
-how many gears does this have
-is the bottom bracket English or French threading

they pop up all the time, usually from even more optimistic sellers
IIRC a lot of them were received in exchange for cigarette box tops or someshit

the irony being that if you smoked all those cigarettes, you probably no longer have the lung capacity to ride it.

I found something more redneckish than the smokes bike
Let me know if you have any questions. I do like to entertain trade offers but cash talks. $600 Obo. The components will remain on the bike until sold that way you can test ride to ensure functions correctly.
Wowee, (original asking price of) $600 for a 25-year-old groupset that I have to go over and take off your bike for you?! Whatta bargain!

Maybe it's fucktardery, maybe it's awesome, but it's in Portland and it's free...
This is a ~22ft long, ~8foot wide STAR DESTROYER (like the ship from STAR WARS). It is best described as a bike-powered parade float. No bikes are included or attached; instead the craft is held up during flight* by 4 individuals on bikes. The design allows the bikes to move somewhat independently.
The ship has been ridden and featured in 2 years of the Pedalpalooza "Star Wars vs. Star Trek" bike rides. This is a one-of-a-kind item that we unfortunately do not have the space for anymore. We want this to go to a good home, so we're letting it go for free.
A great deal of engineering effort and money went into this project. The ship itself is a PVC frame, re-enforced in certain areas with electrical conduit. The coverings are grey-painted weather-resistant coroplast. It's roughly 22feet long and roughly 8 feet wide. It fits in a standard lane of traffic--for scale, it is about as wide as a 2015 Ford Super-Duty, and a little longer. ( http://www.ford.com/trucks/superduty/specifications/exterior/ ) The craft is designed to split into 2 sections using convenient screw-joints for easier storage.
If you think your life would be enhanced by owning a 22 FOOT LONG STAR DESTROYER that you and your friends could ride around Portland, please let me know ASAP!
SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY. YOU WILL NEED 4 PEOPLE ON BIKES OR A VERY LARGE TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS.
*Spaceship is bike powered; it does not actually fly.
