Text from ad:
"I have restored 80s Murray Monterrey that I made about a year ago. I put over $1200 dollars into this bike when I was restoring it. It has many new pieces. It has a Brooks saddle. I had it sand blasted and painted flat black. It has 26 inch white wall wheels with silver and black rims, black spokes, and gold nipples. It has a gold chain and crank with black pedals. It has no brake wires, just going back on the pedals. I kept it very clean and weird like Austin. It comes with a U-lock and flat black Helmet. Will consider trades. "
:shock: :shock: only wants $700 for it too, what a deal!

The perfect example of dumping too much money into the wrong bike. :lol:

 

[YOUBUGME2]

Maybe the chain and crank are real gold!

 

[mikebike]

Remind me not to visit whatever bike shop he goes to for parts. lol :lol:

 

[55ColumbiaBuilt]

Maybe he misplace the decimal point. I'm sure he meant to say:

" I put over $12.00 dollars into this bike...... "

 

[kingfish254]

I bet you could get it for cheaper if you told him you didn't want the ULock and Helmet!! :shock:

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Holy smokes :lol:

Where you at in Schertz?

I picked up that same bike but in a 5 speed trim. I should be able to get 5 times his price then.

 

[kngtmat]

:shock: :lol: That reminds me of what I saw on ebay the other day but I can't remember what I typed in the search to find it again unless they changed it to a lower price.

And at the end of all his tireless efforts on his project custom rat bike...he still has a Murray Monterey! :lol: Possibly worth his asking price in the year...2199.

The guy definitely put a lot of money into that bike. Regardless of the numbers, he's a fellow rat rodder... possibly on this forum. Be careful. :lol:

If he did he would've spent less on his bike.

It's a given that you never get back the money you put into a custom bike, but this guy seems to have taken that to new levels!
