More Craigslist
I was browsing craigslist when I came across this gem of a deal:
Its a 1998 K2 OZM Carbon, a bike I distinctly remembering wanting 10 years ago when I first saw one in a Homer Alaska bike shop. While this bike was cool a decade ago, it is now way, way past its prime and would be easily out-performed by even the low-end full suspension bikes of today. However, once again, the seller is completely ignorant of the modern bicycle world. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the carbon frame, fork, and wheels have serious structural problems, especially after 10 years of use.
Asking price: $1482
Realistically this bike should be selling for $200 tops, yet this guy wants to get almost what he originally paid. I'd also like to know why 1482? Why not round down to 1450, or round up to 1500? People are dumb. He'll probably wonder why it doesn't sell.

I know a kid that has one of those here. He purchased it for under $300 and is building it up.He still has the factory fork with the parallelogram pivot.
