The Chainlink

The Craig's List Ad section revisited...classic...clever.....outlandish....Elgin guy....tiring and so forth.

This one caught my eye, and yes Howard, I think this merits re-discussing.

First the link:

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.

Better hurry! It's parked in front of Dominick's now! And what is with the picture of the guy's/gal's pants?  Also, note the posting time- 4:32 a.m.? Hmm. Something seems very fishy.

The deal of the month on Craigslist.

Note the handlebars! I wonder if this could POSSIBLY be stolen. . .

A link helps!

 

Still don't know WTF the posting is all about.

Who is ABOJO?  Is that some sort of new sucky singer like Lady Gaga or Rebecca Black?  Googling didn't help me understand what that means but it must have something to do with it.

It's a joke...

 

You obviously don't spend any time on BikeForums.net ;)

It’s a carbon fork so it can’t be bent. I can see why the bike was never ridden, as doing so would be very hard with the handlebars mounted backwards.

I want to know when 'looser' became a noun.

Quentin Mixte Single Speed Conversion - $100 (Logan Square)

Reply to: sale-8avsg-2401252131@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]


Bike was purchased last summer from a guy who converts geared bike into single speeds. Was taken to local bike shop for a tune up at the end of last summer, and bike has not been ridden since.

New tires, trued wheels, newer brakes, newer white chain, new handle bar tape. Bike is lavender in color. No dents in frame, looks super cool, and overall great working condition. Bike will fit anyone from 5'2" - 5'8". I'm selling it because I want a hybrid bike.

Willing to trade for a hybrid bike that would fit someone who is 5'5". Can meet in Logan Square near blue line. Email if interested!

Cash and carry only.

NO SPAM.
