Albany Craigslist Used Bicycle Buyers Guide
A lot of people I know ask me what bikes to get so I’ll do one of these every once in a while as a public service.
PANASONIC SPORT 500 – $65 (Albany) Not the best bike, but a complete bike and the seller is negotiable.
Jamis Coda Sport 21.5 IN (54 CM) - $250 (Ballston Spa, NY) An actual bike made by a real manufacturer. Flat bar road bikes are really great, too.
2008 Fuji Crosstown 2.0 Like New! – $295 (Saratoga Springs) A bit dorky looking but way solid for someone who needs a good bike from a good manufacturer.
The following two are really awesome and I’d go after them if I had a reason to.
===1988 Trek 1000- $100=== – $100 (Middleburgh) These older Treks are great. A lot of people on the NYC Fixed Gear forum specifically enjoy these for their low price and great value. This is REALLY worth the $100.
Panasonic Team road bike SMALL 51cm/19″ – $250 (Manchester, VT) This thing is awesome. It’s a straight up race quality bike from the 80s. Perfect for that small person you know! This would make a killer girlfriend bike for all the guys out there!
That was really nice of you. Any rides coming up? Larkfest ride perhaps? I have a small group together if anyones interested. I saw the panasonic and the trek on CL and thought they were great deals. Panasonic is sharp lookin (good for a smaller rider your right) Talk to yall soon
IMHO these are all steals, almost all of these bikes out in Portland would cost 3x the price.
@john, thanks man, the response to this post is overwhelmingly positive. my friend steve said to me that i had a pretty deep knowledge of all sorts of bike shit so i figured id help out those without it.
@nathan yeah i know dude, especially the last two!
that last bike looks just like the perfect me-sized one you found me. hurrah for small bikes existing for people my height.
