1. Cycling helmets, don’t bother.. seriously no one wants a sweaty 2 year old 400$ Giro for 225$ do the planet a favor and recycle it 

2. Jerseys n bib shorts donate that shit the Velodrome…newbie’s love that stuff

3. Carbon Fiber handle bars…nope can’t give em away…

4. Any type of seat post or handlebar stem litterly worthless not worth the time trying make 7 bucks

5. Gravel tires, no matter brand new or used..too many choices and the gravel vibe is on the downside 

6. Carbon tubular wheel set hold about the same value as USA cycling license 

7. Any indoor stationary trainer smart one included everyone that wanted one bought one.

8. Used drivetrain components sure..why not just be ready to renew that listing ten god dam times

9. Over priced to begin with kids bikes…be a good person and donate it to charity 

10. Any cycles eyewear, people are picky and your style probably ain’t there style throw them in a drawer and break em out in 7 years and be the cool guy at local loop.

11. Car racks…worth more in scrap

12. Rim brake 26 inch wheel mountain bikes, only if was really cool back in the day, otherwise find a needy college student and make there day..

 I may be average, but I know ridiculous things when I see them because TMS is always lurking the Internet and scouring Most ridiculous things and our go to for the last six months has been Facebook marketplace. 
You can get everything from a quarter cup leather bra to homemade salsa, cyber trucks. Babysitters, and of course, outdated overpriced, bicycle shit, not to pick on anybody, but suddenly this dude popped up on our radar and either this person drowned at some point in their life or has been standing way too close to an ultrasonic parts cleaner?.





Take this first example, sure it was state of  the art back during the Clinton era but is it really worth 3K ?

you gotta ask yourself how bad do you want the most hated man in cycling replica hanging in the place where you like to sip your snotty microbrews I think I’d look elsewhere, but correct me if I’m wrong if this bike does fetch the asking price


 PT Barnum Was once again correct!




Vintage trek 2300 Carbon Series Rd. bike. This would be a hard pass about the only thing of value on that bike. Is probably the seat and that brick of a stem now when I say value, I say there’s probably only about 2% of the people that are reading this would actually understand what those two items were. The seat was pretty stylish back before Internet was a regular thing and the stem well let’s just say, it’s not something that I would trust going up against the best in Michigan in an all out field sprint,it’s cool that’s all I can say, but you gotta be joshing me on That price Id offer 375 bucks and make him buy me lunch down at Earl’s place






Here’s another one that I could do a capital WTF…his His asking price seems to be far lower than what the MSRP on bicycle Blue book does anybody even really pay attention to that yeah I’m sure there’s a couple of suckers out there there again. The only thing that caught the eye of a TMS Was once again that brick of a stem oh, let me also add theI get it oh and of course it’s a full “ Dura Ace” kit but I’m a little confused on the racing seat. Can’t every seat be racing seat?


I really think someone should come up with this thing. It’s called a breathalyzer. You should have to breathe into it. If you blow sober you are allowed to post anything on the Internet lol yeah even here on TMS



But more so on Facebook marketplace it’s a regular petri dish of bacteria floating around waiting to infect anybody who comes near it..

all in all, I find the comedic relief I get from it quite soothing..
