There is ONLY ONE way to SETTLE THIS!
All "RE" posts can now sign up for CRAIGSLIST DEATH MATCH. Each week I will be hosting a fight to the death, no holds barred, grudge match--- pitching bitching opponents against each other to settle their disputes the good old fashioned way-in public-in person.
Bring your spell check, bring your sense of hipster entitlement, bring your tight jeans and disapproving stare, bring your seat posts as weapons! Most of all, BRING IT ON!!!
No longer do you have to fight for clever ironic virtual dominance! If you don't like his price-BASH HIM ONE! If you think he's selling imperfect wheelsets-STEAMROLL HIM! It's down and dirty weasel vs. wussy!
Craigslisters submit your favourite annoying Re-posting whiners by Thursday of each week, and on Friday night we can ride our bikes to a selected location to cheer on your selected cheerless rivals.
Two will enter, one will leave.
Location: Thunderdome
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Are you talking about the appearance that the head tube has been pushed back buckling the top and down tubes?

Must be an optical illusion.
The fender clearance to the downtube might be a little tight...

Must be the monitor I'm viewing it on. I'd say front fender clearance is damn near non-existant.

I see a tiny bit of light between the tire and the frame. Better not put 1-1/4's on there though!

I have to agree it is a bit overpriced for what it is- of course, the guy on CL is selling one in a gray/silver color, while the only bikes available for sale at the $399 price at Performance are in Pink. So, if color matters someone may want to pay $125 more for the gray one.

Failed hipster - fixie must go - $1100 (SLO)

I tried so hard. I dated a girl from Portland. I criticized cheese. I applied the term artisanal to every inanimate object that went in or on my body. I burned and singed my forearms just to make it look like I was going to culinary school. I grew Carol Brady hair. I got itchy from the finest flannel and I cut off circulation from the waist down with jeans that made my ass look like an elevator button.
. . .And I rode a fixie.
No more. It's all gotta go. The hair, the macrame, the texting overages, the Netflix and Hulu Plus. The record collection (have you ever tried to box up and move an effin stack of LPs?!) . . .and the bike. Pictured below is the bike. It's beautiful. It's got red rims. Red chain. Red tires. Red handlebars shaped like devil horns -- because it's the devil.
The guys at the hipster store don't tell you fixes don't stop. So I will. Fixies don't stop. Stop sign? Fixie don't care. Car coming turning in front of you at a three-way stop? Fixie laugh. Want Chipotle? Nope. Fixie want protein powder/beet/purple carrot/bee pollen juice and won't stop till he gets it. Fixie has a mind of his own.
Yesterday, Fixie got pulled over twice by SLO PD in three hours. In six months time, Fixie collected more tickets than a scalper for a Radiohead show at Hollywood Bowl.
I'm selling this badboy and tipping the dregs of my last PBR tall boy in his memory.

This is an ad placed by Shining Bikes and Things (5600 N. Western), believed by many on the chainlink to be a somewhat sketchy operation. Here's an old thread.

Seems they are going by the name "Chicago Bike Finders" these days. I didn't connect the dots. I've seen a lot of ads by CBF lately. I suppose they already have enough bad publicity as Shining Bikes & Things that they had to assume another alias.
This guy is almost as annoying as the one who puts "-LIKE A SCHWINN" into the title of every darn ad they post on Craigslist
