you gotta be kidding me...

I was so busy Laughing at the listing I didn't pay to much attention and what 1 k bike fer 3 are you referring to? I mean c'mon Mike look at the bid History and then look at the bid history on the Hardly a Davidson almost identical.

The price for those so called bikes that is a lot of money, that's 5 Worksman bikes and 5 kits and 5 rear wheel adaptors,thats not much $ to a VERY RICH MAN but realistically, ain't no joke on me the joke is on the guy who bought it, that's the truth.

The original one (ebay auction) linked to in the OP.

Was described as a replica in the the header. No false advertising. 2 pages back the bid was $2500.

That's all I'm saying, people will buy a look. Hey, it's an auction so don't bid if you can't buy.

If you can mod a frame, put a little loop in it, do some metal work and "antique" the thing, you can sell 1K bikes for 3K too.

But don't laugh at your customers, they won't like it.

Oh, just checked. It sold for $3500.

I would never laugh at my customers unless they offered me $400.oo for one of my bikes and at that point I don't think they'd be a customer but rather just a smart ***.

Once upon a time I was one of those guy's who bought an over priced bike from a very well know builder, and I'm Not! one of those RICH GUYS with $$ to throw away I got real smart real quick and started building, so I know first hand what a quality M/B consists of, the $ that goes into a quality build, my reputation as a builder and the quality of the product I'm selling. I am still being laughed at today by the vendor that I bought that overly priced M/B from a vendor who really doesn't care about his customers other then them just being a cash flow to him.

I don't understand why people don't come to this and other M/B forums and get educated before they buy a pretty piece of jewelry, winding it up and popping a spring.

Not for all I suppose. Bit I guess it;s worth the money to the person that bought the item.

I found the forum after I bought the kit for my bike. If I had found the forum first, there's a few things that I probably would've done differently. This may be the case with many of the members on the site.

Not my CL ad, and there is no prize for guessing who is selling that bike.

The bicycle buyers of OC didn't like the ad too, so they just flagged it.

My guess would be that it was written under the influence.

 

[oldtimer54]

LOL I didn't realize you where quoting (no quotes). I vote for under the influence.

 

[truckd]

Sure would like to see the bike, who ever wrote that was sure under the influence of something ?

 

[scotto-]

$350.00 max would be more like it. Replica.......reeeeeeaaallly?

What a joke!

 

[16v4nrbrgr]

You can see it at your local TGI Fridays above the bar along with fake maritime artifacts and assorted flare, lol.

[chainmaker]

When I looked at the listing I thought it looked like a Bairdco Industry bike minus a in frame tank. whoever it belongs to gets a thumbs up from me for the great write up!!

 

[truckd]

$335 on the Elvis knevil suite not a penny more.

This bike, aesthetically, is very cool to look at; if you are into antique motorcycles and rat rods like I am. If people are buying them, more power to him.
