Do it. You know you want it.

It's good to have a backup...

It'll hold its resale value, so it's not like the money's really gone.

I sold mine 4 years ago for 1300, which is almost what it cost new, and 
those values have remained steady ever since. Buy it, ride it, sell it 
later if need be.

In fact - considering all the extras included - that's practically a free 
frame. Hurry before the seller wises up!

Re: [RBW] Romulus for sale on Minneapolis Craigslist - a little suspicious?

 I saw this Romulus for sale on Minneapolis craigslist. It seems a bit
 suspicious considering the low price and the fact the seller does not
 even seem to know the size or based on his post much about bikes at
 all.  I am wondering if this bike is stolen.


The absence of the seat post and saddle makes me wonder, too.  Were they
removed to prevent theft of the saddle while the bike was locked up
somewhere?  How else do you get a fully equipped bike minus seat post
and saddle?

 The bike also appears to be missing the front brake.
