My little brother needs some kind of bike to ride around, like an old mountain bike or something. It ain't gotta be pretty. I'd prefer tires and brakes in good condition, though. You know you've got some old 10-speed taking up space in your apartment, you all lyin' to yourself about how you're gonna start riding again once it cools down. Stop frontin' and sell me that piece, kid.

you physically wrote out 'you all'. But then felt like putting an apostrophe, instead of the letter g, at the ends of words. The inconsistency approaches amsterdam### levels.

Oh this is going to be awesome

7/12/2009 6:16:09 PM

"You all lyin' to yourself" is not "y'all lyin' to yourself." Note "yourself," which is singular, you fucking Hershey squirt.

7/12/2009 6:17:59 PM

OH DAMN HE CALLED HIM A HERSHEY SQUIRT LOL

back on topic just keep an eye on Craigslist, there are always something on there.

7/12/2009 6:36:31 PM

i never stopped riding. there is about 80 bikes under $120 on CL

7/12/2009 7:17:57 PM

NCSU surplus kiddo. They might have some.

I am not breaking out triple figures for a secondhand bike for my kid brother.

The surplus sale is an interesting suggestion, though unreliable and inconvenient. I'll keep it in mind. I've also got my eye on Craigslist, naturally, because I'm no n00b.

Here is the thought process for this thread:

1. The Wolf Web has some dudes who buy bikes and don't ride them.
2. These dudes too lazy to ride their bikes are probably dudes too lazy to actively sell 'em, too.
3. These dudes would gladly part with their neglected steeds for cash money, which they will no doubt spend on drugs.

I am keenly interested in that heavy-ass Wal-Mart bike you bought when you moved into your first apartment and no longer ride because you hate carrying it up and down the stairs; the bike you think has no resale value because you only spent $80 on it to start with; the bike you never even bought a fuckin' lock for. That's the bike I want.

You didn't even post a general idea of the size you need.

7/13/2009 9:25:14 AM

It's a cheap bike, man. I am clearly soliciting bikes owned by college kids and up, 18+, adult sizes and shit. Come on, now. I'm like your mom, son--I ain't gotta worry about inches.

7/13/2009 9:32:25 AM

I'm 5'5" and my brother is 6'3"

Guess I better go tell him he CAN ride my bikes because we are both adults, even though his knees hit the handlebars on my bike.

froshkiller droppin some wisdom on us

7/13/2009 11:20:15 AM

i've seen some "decent" bikes at wal-mart for under 100

you've probably checked there already but i thought i'd chime in just in case.

7/13/2009 11:36:25 AM

That's a last-ditch effort. We are trying to keep it close to cash neutral, if you follow me.

7/13/2009 11:37:43 AM

I have a bike or two I'm not using, but I'm not gonna let you douches waste my time unless there is a high likelyhood you will buy the damn thing.

7/13/2009 11:38:00 AM

how much are bolt cutters running these days?

7/13/2009 11:55:36 AM
