I THINK ONLY SEVEN SPEEDZ BRAH!
then you can say "It's a 21 speed. no big deal." to all of your friends.
variations:
"14 speeds, all day long"
"what is that? like a 30 speed or something? i prefer my 1x7."
"how much did you pay for your chain again???!"

Novara Buzz Cross Bike / Bicycle - Gray 18 Inch - FAST - $300 (Inver Grove Heights) Date: 2012-04-07, 5:02PM CDT Reply to: qgmp6-2945966674@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Quote: 2004 Novara Buzz, 18 Inch, Grey. Fast / Fast / Fast. I STILL love this bicycle and really have VERY little desire to sell her. I bought the bike NEW in 2004 from REI, and fell in love with it. It is suprisingly light, cross bike with straight bars, great riding position, and mechanical disk brakes, that slow you down in a hurry, when you need it. This bike is EXTREMELY difficult for me to sell. It is about 20X more attractive than the bike I ride. If you are like me, you are thinking that the right bike will get you into shape, doing something fun. This bike did that for me! I was 260 and got down to a healthy 20lbs. This bike got me on the road to a good, healthy, lifestyle. Fact is I don't ride her anymore, and have replaced her with a comfort bike that is better for my back. I take care of my things!. You will see she is clean and in perfect riding condition with no rust and almost no damage. There is a couple of dings on one side that I was tempted to fill with some metalic Grey flat, however I wanted YOU to see exactly what you are getting, so I did not, and included pictures of those dings. Origionally these Novaro Buzz's went for 800$. My price is fair, so please keep that in mind when contacting. I am not in a hurry to sell this bike and am looking for someone who will love this bike as I have. You may call me at 651-306-1108. Until this bike has not SOLD and no longer in my possession, the post will remain up. This is a CASH only deal. This is SUCH a nice bike, it was so hard to make the decision to sell. I hope you are the person to see the same and to love it the way I have. I'm not sure it's all that healthy to lose 240 lbs. Either that, or maybe it says 201 BS. Joking aside, might be a dope deal.

I have the same Novara Buzz, though a smaller one, and upgraded over the years.
It's actually a Big Buzz with 700c wheels. Avid BB7 disc brakes with SD7 levers. Nice bike. For $300, if it's in good shape, it's a steal IMO.

Apparently the front wheel mounted motor is not unusual, but this still looks like a bad idea. Quote: Bicycle that has a solex motor mounted on the front wheel,RUNS GREAT> 763 421 1761  |

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/b ... 14763.htmlIt looks like this bike is set-up about as nice as one could set up a Trek 700 Multitrack. Nonetheless, $1000? ...and I highly doubt that County Cycles charged 2700 for this three years ago.
