BOBCFL: 1980's Bottecchia Campione del Mondo
and now for something really sweet
every time i see a bottecchia i think of my main man b-det and his poor bottecchia frame... he rattle canned it, ground off the cable guides, and then beat the shit outta it. good memories from those days :)
anyway, this bike looks GREAT GREAT GREAT. digging the red tape, black stem, white frame, red tyres combo (so much i might cop that for a mountain bike build)
and fair price, especially for LA.
mnm mm, do want

BOBCFL: Raleigh Competition GS
and now to prove my point about how that last post was smoking crack. here's a raleigh comp gs listed for $50 more than that updated POS:
dripping with nuevo record, a hidden bolt dura ace stem, new wheels
awesome buy for whoever picks this sweet british babe up!

BOBCFL: 1980's Mercian Crack Pipe
and now for something with a little bit more baking soda in it:
ok, i'll make a guess as to what's happening right here.
a (19-25) male human got this bike from a bike church, parents, or found it.
he googled 'mercian' and was like 'oh shit money!'
went about 'fixing it up' with new parts that he ordered online.
didn't realize what he was getting into ordering new parts.
spent way too much.
road it around and was like 'blegh'
now trying to sell the bike for much more than it's worth.
seriously, $400 is what you would get if this was in perfect, original condition. i'm sure you'd spend that much buying those parts from performance or whatever, but it still doesn't make it worth it.
those bullhorns are stupid.
