I'm with Dann, this seems moronic. Why not just replace your brake lever with a chainsaw/lawnmower style started rope? At least it would retract utilizing the springs in the brake caliper.

I spend all my money on pbr tallboys so I can't afford that nice of a brake on my dope fixie. Instead I carry around a bundle of sticks to jam into my spokes. I've used my retro stick brakes since before it was underground.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/b ... 65058.htmlQuote: I know nothing about bikes but I did buy a bike and it ended up having these super nice wheels on it called Campagnolo.
A spoke broke and now I'm selling the wheel, without a tire. It has quick release capabilities. I'm not sure what size it is.

This made the main tab on FARK. One commenter said it best: "Nobody on Craigslist has any morals."

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/b ... 80208.htmlFunny 'cause someone is selling a bike box of partially assembled bicycle? Quote: Brand-New Fuji ACR 3.0 Road Bike, 2010
MSRP $1400
Carbon Fork and Seatstays
Shimano Tiagra Components
52cm frame
Brand-new, still in the box, will need minor assembly (10-15 minutes and slight brake and derailleur tuning to break-in the cables, as with any brand-new bike)
Primarily silver/gray with a little black and red accents.
$750, no negotiations. Compare this to what you can get at the local bike shop for $750...
612-834-9733
No trades or anything of that nature. Cash only.
Similar to Giant, Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, Jamis, Marin, 105, Ultegra, Carbon

What the hell? He says pictures are of identical bike. So that's not his? But identical to his?
That bike has no front derailer either And where is the shifter for the remaining derailer?
