    Question…looking to buy this bike. I’ve never bought one before from Marketplace…does $180 seem fair for this? Thank you for any help.

      Any bike that works and doesn’t need a bunch of repair for under $200 that you also like and want to ride is a good deal.

      Also, that is one weird fucking bike.

      that’s the kind of bike you “find” when you’ve burnt your life to the ground and just need one little break from God to get back on your feet.

      The fork rake on that sucker is extreme. Makes it look like the wheel is bent.

      I don’t have that kind of money to spend. If I was buying a bike for functionality, I’d skip this one. If I was buying it to roll around town occasionally, might merit consideration. Though it’s gonna take up a ton of space. Looks like it would struggle to accept a rack.

      Would be sweet if you could add pegs and a double seat, but that’s putting a lot of trust into an unknown fabricator.

      If it rides well and you like it, it’s a steal. 😉

      Someone poured a lot of time, thought, and energy into the thing.

      If it actually rides I would buy it myself.

      That’s the kind of bike that will make you want to not ride bikes.

      I get liking a weird bike, but this one’s garbage duck taped together (with cup holder)

      Two phone holders tells what kind of person owned it before you.

      The River West 24 in Milwaukee has a special class for bikes like that. Part of the vibe there. LOL

      It’s close to the ground, so when the “builder’s” connections fail, it’s not far to fall.

      Looks well taken care of at least. Definitely heavy, and basically useless for hills. But if you live in a really flat area it’s probably fine.

      As long as you don’t have any hills in your area. Even a slight incline will have you feeling like Sisyphus.

      These cruisers are good for, well, cruising. Cruising slow and cool on flat ground. Good for bike parties and such.

      That’s some funky homebrew shit😂. Then again, you won’t find anything else like this. If you want it and have $180 to spend I don’t see anything wrong with that.

      I wouldn’t spend $180 on it, but I don’t see anything that flags out as dangerous. If you actually like it I think it’s fine to spend on it. Test ride it first to make sure it’s not sketchy as hell to ride.

      This is backyard bike builder special. Nothing wrong with that if done right. Problem is they’re rarely done right. If I were buying it I would be looking at all the welds and making sure everything is the same on both sides(ie measurements.) Upon ridding the bike I would check to see if it wanted to veer one way or the other and is there any creaking or rubbing noise. Ultimately it’s your money and life. You have to ask yourself how confident are you in a stranger on Facebook’s welding ability.
