Hello all, I'm just curious if there would be any interest in trading a road bike for my 12" 800mhz Apple Ibook w/Airport wi-fi card and Apple Airport wi-fi base station. It is approximately 2 years old, and probably has less then 25 hours of use. It was one of those impulse purchases that later turns into a dust-gatherer. An expensive dust gatherer.

Anybody out there with an interesting trade? I'm looking for a road bike to convert to a single speed or pista, preferrably steel frame though I'm open to other offers. Prefer Bridgestone or something traditional like that (love Bridgestones), paint, appearance, brakes and gears not as important as solid frame as I would be stripping it down and converting to single speed/fixed.

Will consider all interesting offers including already-built pista/single-speed. Ride 19" frame mountain bike, never had a road bike and am too lazy to look up the conversion charts right now (it's still early).

Am thinking the Ibook is worth around $500.00, so that's the approximate value of bike I'm looking for.

If anybody out there is interested in this, staceygraham@gmail.com

Stacey, you'd probably have a lot more options selling your computer on eBay, then looking for a bike separately. Computers depreciate quickly, so if you don't want it, get rid of it ASAP.

Yeah I know, I just posted it on the off chance somebody was in the opposite situation as me. I'm in no hurry, just seeing if there was any interest.

don't got no bikes to trade but just wanted to say I was just checking out your blog and it was a good read from what I read. Especially the lomo and holga photos.

If you're looking for a pure track bike... I'm actually trying to sell mine and incidently am a rather intense mac-addict. It's a GT GTB track bike in black with bullhorns and a fixed/free set-up in black. it fits like a 58 but i'm unsure exactly what the size is (it's on consignment down at the One on One right now, Gene-O has it sized as a 59).

It's an Awesome bike, i've just hit the wall with seven bikes and limited basement/living room storage if I want something new, something else has to go.

IM me if you're interested, we could set up a time to check it out.
