That bike's been on Craigslist for awhile now. The guy isn't selling it for 200 bucks. Quite the contrary. He's fishing for a sucker who will pay more than it's worth. He appears to have an inflated sense of its value.

As a continuation of our occasional parlor game..were that bike my size, as is, I might pay a grand for it. But no more. The frame is pretty beat. Well. Ok. Maybe if I were really feeling stupid, $1300, but no more.

Anyone else care to say what it's worth to them? Assuming it was your size?
