Look, alloy cranks for light weight.
 
Not mine, just passing on because I know the guy selling it. Seems like a decent deal to me, done nicely with all new parts, professionally powder coated flat black. With the cost of powder coating, he is pretty much breaking even on price.

I don't think he is at all interested in shipping, so it would be local pickup in Hilliard, Ohio.
 
Just an update on this one. I posted it in the old thread years ago, and again a couple years later either in the old thread or this one. But this gem is still available at the EXACT same price, several years after they started trying to sell it. They don't drop the price and they update it every week so it stays at the top. That's dedication.

That would be a tough sale at $125.oo, let alone $350!

It isn't as old or as rare as they think, and I personally think $25 would be a stretch, even for the right person. I wouldn't even want it hanging around if it was anything more than free.
 
is this a 'thing' ? or just a scam? yanking the crank out of a kids walmart yardsale bike and calling it "custom"?

This is a custom bicycle that we purchased last year on craigslist that taught our 5 year old how to ride a bike in 1 week using balance. Like Skuut bicycle. No training wheels. They learn to use their feet to push off and balance... Much easier and faster than using training wheels!

Yes, this is a thing. But you hit the nail on the head, as this bike is just a kid's bike minus the crank/pedals. Here is what these bikes normally look like.
