Last weekend, I met up with Liang for some midday bloody marys, with brunch on the side. He must have been drunk because he let me test ride his sweet sweet fixie afterwards, and I kinda got hooked. So I think I’m in the market now for a fixie. If/when I get one, I will have 4 bikes (#1, #2, #3), but I’m trying to sell #1. Maybe I’ll have better luck than the first time around. So if anyone’s in the market for a 2002 Gary Fisher Wahoo, let me know :)
I began my search for a fixie today on Craigslist. There really aren’t so many options, or maybe I just don’t know how to look. Additionally, I got really upset seeing Walmart bikes being sold for $150 with the caption “full suspension! Only $150!” Yeah right; the bike is maybe worth ~$80 completely new from Walmart. Why are people so dis-integritous? On craigslist no less! Isn’t craigslist supposed to be some kind of honor system cult?
Yes, I know dis-integritous is not a word.
Additional note: I just read this craigslist ad. WTF?? Kmart doesn’t even sell $300 bikes new. Is this person out of his mind???
