Wonders of Craigslist

My brother Luke was asking me about road bikes, should he put the effort in to fixing up a 30 year old rusty road bike which would probably cost him 200-300$ and still wouldn't be very good. Or simply suck it up and spend 500$ on a decent road commuter road bike.

I suggested he look up on craigslist to see if he could get something cheap. To help him out, I did a quick search of my own to try and provide insight into what he is looking for.

Along my way this title caught my attention


I've never even heard of a Macadam bike, let alone in triathlon circles. Lets dig a little deeper and see what we find.

Exage motion??? I can honestly say I have no idea what that means. So lets look at this mysterious triathlon bike.

...

ok...

I don't see anything that makes this "triathlon" related.

Anyways, the bike is only selling for 220$, somewhat of a rip off, you bet. Entertaining? Was for me at least.
