Brand new bianchi pista , silver right from the store for 600.

Or

Lightly used , 07 fuji track pro with velocity deep v's for 650.

Bike will never see a track, just lots of high paced city riding, and the occasional long trip</TD></TR></TABLE>

Where in MD is this store, might have to make a visit......

Yeah, its that one off craigslist, and everyone can step off, I already made a deposit, and its sold to me.

Had to take that over the pista, its just a better bike with better components.

I live in baltimore city if anyone wants to go for a ride.

Damn 75 bucks ? That is a steal!

My dad told me he knew this guy that used to ride but died unexpectedly and he had a nice motobecane sitting around and whoever he left it to gave it to my dad. My dad didn't want it so he called me, so I'm gonna see what's up with that, might build a second bike.

hmm
garage full of bikes and parts.....
complete bike for $75 bucks........

sounds like someone either has a drug problem or a bunch of stolen ****. if he's "been around building bikes" than he knows what he has, and nobody would build and sell a complete bike for $75. let alone one with a carbon fork
