A little quiz qhile we wait for my fixie to arrive.

THIS JUST IN: DELAY>>>DELAY>>>DELAY


Yes the fixie has been delayed. Lets not dwell on it. More on that later. Instead lets make fun of other peoples shit to kill some time while we wait. Here are some Craiglist gems that i couldnt pass up. Each has its own sordid little tale of woe undoubtedly. I mean lets get down to brass tacks, if you have to resort to listing a bicycle on a forum where the average price of a complete build is somewhere south of $25.00, You may not be described as desperate, but you can see it from where you are standing. For all those mountain bikers out there, lets just refer to it as "Sub-Deore" and leave it there, i think we all can relate to that.



Now heres the fun part:

Get the question right, you get a little hottie on a bike.



Get the question wrong. You get a face full of this hottie on a bike. (ironic isnt it?)

Dont worry, its multiple choice. No essays.

Once you have made your decision, click on the picture for the full story.




This Craigs List poster worries that:



A) this bike might be too much for the everyday phoenix cyclist.




B) His price of $300 is so high that the Craigs list cops might take down his auction.




C) His custom top-tube label "GET A SPINE" might be mistaken for an actual brand name.



This next poster gets the legal mumbo jumbo out of the way and tells potential buyers to beware this bike is:













This seller admits the bike is not a finished product, his description of the bikes condition is:



A) 50% complete for the street







B) A rolling garage sale looking for a place to set up a card table and make a couple of bucks.







C) Just needs a chain and the bolts to hold the chain ring otherwise ready to go.







D) Poor condition! If this bike were a pet he would be doing time in tent city for posting these pictures.



This poster states the exorbitant price of $90 is fitting as these bars are:




A) Cut to the ideal length for dodging taxi cabs.



B) Include a limited edition of the Chameleons U.K. Edition LP (also pictured)



C) The ones he used as a messenger in cisco (where ever the hell that is)


Note: if any of this crap is yours and you feel you have been slighted or misrepresented...take it up with your local minister. The Street Kings dont do hugs.
