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.

I thought this one was a typo, except the price is listed the same way twice. Maybe it's the steel cable lock that brings the price up?

Srs bsns!
Because, well...It's OLD so it's got to be worth $1500 -right?
Hint: Looking at those lugs it is 1955 at the oldest.

Yeah, untouched... except for removal of the front fender & brake, etc, etc..
Collectable... leave it on the curb and the scrapper will collect it.

I'm sort of interested in that back rack actually. Is that a current production rack? Looks pretty vintage-esque and might look nice on an older classic Raleigh or Schwinn. I wonder where one could find these?

And in good shape as advertised.

The paint looks pretty...just wonder what happened to the rest of the frame? Maybe the seat and post are worth the $5, though.

Thanks, my life is going quite well to the point where I can spend a day shopping for bikes. Apparently you are now realizing a $1200.00 bike isn't such a great choice in a blue collar city with a high crime rate. Good luck selling the Rolls Royce of bicycles in a stale economic climate to a group of people that are okay riding a middle of the road bike. Chicagoans don't need anything fancy to get from point A to B, just a nice lil' commuter with some fenders will do. Why do I need a bike that is over a grand and doesn't even include fenders or rack because it's a "racer". If I wanted an over priced Bentley bike I'd build my own and have Chester Frames of Chicago make it for me, not a British company. Cheers Guvnah!- Location: Reality

MISSING BIKE - black track bike (DAMAGED) $200 reward (Lincoln Square)
Date: 2012-03-20, 11:35AM CDT
Reply to: n6mnf-2900053271@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
Last night in Lincoln Square, on Lincoln Ave. across from the Grafton I forgot to lock my bike, how it slipped my mind I'll never know. Either way, it is my baby. I spent months putting it together and it is my main and only form of transportation around the city. It is all black and says DAMAGED on the frame.
If you picked it up, I wouldn't blame you. It wasn't locked and I would have taken it as well. But please, I beg of you, I will give you all the money I have right now ($200) if you give the bike back no questions asked. I can even provide serial numbers to prove it's mine. Thank you.- Location: Lincoln Square

WTF? "If you picked it up, I wouldn't blame you. It wasn't locked and I would have taken it as well." It's still stealing...I think this guy is "damaged" in the head.
