Lost it in a house fire. Miss it. Want to sell? I'll pay a fair price. Please let me know. Thanks. I had a Fila Torino bike exactly like the one pictured. Lost it in a house fire. Miss it.

Usually the rich residents just leave their unsold stuff on the curb afterwards. Then I usually drive by and collect all the bikes (usually between 5 and 15, most of them in great condition), fix'em up and sell'em. I also invested a total of $5 for new brake/gear cables and sold my last one for $100. The other benefit is that the bikes don't end up in a landfill.

If I lived in the area, I would buy that for $175. That's a steal. I have Alivio shifters on one of my bikes, and they're great. Love the straight fork on that bike, too. Damn!

People in Austin have tried to flip bikes on CL too but don't do any repairs or even try to sell the bikes in their completely unfit for riding condition for over $200! I think the old school word for that is "RIP-OFF"! Looks like an awsome bike!
