The BIKE OF DEATH---

ALUMINUM Road Bike 20.5 pounds of TERROR - $200



Did you ever want to KILL YOURSELF-- but you just couldn't bring yourself to jump off a bridge? Do you shudder at the sight of blood? Would you look bad with rope rash or red wrist marks?

Well, here's your chance to surprise yourself, and not even know when THE MOMENT WILL BE.

A GREAT LIGHT Peugeot Galaxie , Pechiney ALL ALUMINUM Road Bike (frame, forks), all Shimano 105 gears, shifters, cranks, brakes, the real deal.

20.5 pounds of Sheer Crazy Psychotic FEAR. You want EXTREME SPORTS? Now THIS is EXTREME.

The French hate Americans, and have been trying to kill us off unsuccessfully in their own country since Normandy, and have been largely unsuccessful. This is a covert post-war attempt that has quietly achieved this goal, although in smaller numbers than originally hoped for.

Uh-- did someone say this was NOT Pechiney? Uh.......this is on the bike above the shifters. Looks like P E C H I N E Y to me. Aluminum from Australia.




A beautiful road bike for anyone capable of thinking outside the corporate-name-decal-on-my-bike-like-my-fat-neighbor box.
Silver with blue striping, gorgeous chrome lug joints, straight, all aluminum frame bike.

Be the only one on your block to have a 20 pound Peugeot Galaxie, actually, probably the only LIVING owner of such in your city or state, or maybe anywhere east of the English Channel.

This is an EXTREMELY RARE BIKE, a true COLLECTORS ITEM, a MUSEUM PIECE of HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, as all of the former owners are now DEAD, having been mashed into little bits when their own Peugeot Galaxie disintegrated while they were in the middle of an intersection, and thus were run over by a 60mph Mack Truck hauling chickens to the KFC Factory on the edge of town:

Proof Positive-- Well come on-- YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET DON'T YOU?!?!

The UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR/Story/Recollection/Whatever found on exactly ONE PAGE on the entire World Wide Web. It may or may not be true, you decide with your life in the balance:
http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-69201.html

".....Heres my recolection of the Comete/Galaxie issue. The frames tubes, seat, top, down and all 4 stays were joined to the lugs without a bonding agent or without welds. Peugeot called it the 'Pechiney' process. Quote form the catalogue "The assembly of the frame is performed with a special, patented technique that fits the tubes into the lugs without the use of any bonding process such as welding or glue."

[Yes, it's been discovered that they used special Magic French Fairy Wands that spray Elmer's Bicycle Glue.-N.S.]

Basically they were press fit together. When Peugeot decided to pull out of the American market they recalled all of the Comete/Galaxie bikes to clear themselves of any future possible litigation. (they were worried about future lawsuits) I asked if there were any frame failures which helped lead to this decision and was told 'no'. Do you think they'd actually say 'yes'? I worked at the dealer thast handled the nationwide recall. We literally sawed some of the frames in half..."

Well now--- THAT'S INTERESTING! "my recollection..." yet, he then offers "Quote form the catalogue.."


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I guess he's recalling from way back when he put back down on the table the catalog he's quoting from. Or maybe he still has the catalogue

Uh huh. Makes about as much sense as a "Quote FORM the catalogue"

Is that like CATATONIC? hahah. But seriously, okay, maybe he saves 25 year old Peugeot sales materials, and this is what he REMEMBERS otherwise.

Does this Bicycling Expert who handled the NATIONAL recall (so he claims) CITE a SINGLE CASE of FRAME FAILURE? Nope.

CAN ANYONE? Haven't seen it.

Look, you've got about 20 billion WWW sources possible. You would think there would be SOMETHING.

There isn't. Gee.

Anyway, Here's what you do if you are particularly paranoid or clever....


You take out an INSURANCE POLICY on somebody you want to get rid of, give them the bike, and then collect on the policy after they take this bike on the Tour de France.

Or you insure yourself, name the beneficiary of your choice, and take a trip down Independence Pass on New Years Day, and die knowing that you've left something for people to remember you by.

The buyer of this bike assumes ALL LIABILITY for their health after purchase, and the seller assumes none. And you will have to put it in writing.

ALL original SHIMANO including crank, brakes, dérailleurs.

Extremely light, paint is very good, decals need a little touch up here and there nothing serious, all Shimano 105, straight rims.

The frame shows absolutely no sign of catastrophic failure, falling apart, being loose, in fact-- I WOULD RIDE THIS BIKE MYSELF if I was tall enough. Yea, though I walk through the Valley of MASI, I fear no evil.

Are you a smoker? Has your house been tested and mitigated for RADON? Are you overweight?

Your chances of DEATH from these activities is probably a hundred times greater than dying on this bike. But if you like to gamble-- hey, give it a shot-- put some EXCITEMENT into your life. Live a LITTLE. Be different.

Or, you can ride a TREK.

Good for any rider 5'8" or taller, 57cm (22.5") down tube (seat/down tube--axle to top of top tube length)



What a great gift this would make for your boss or lazy husband or any sado masochist.

"The human brain has infinite potential"- Sir John Eccles.
"Unfortunately, most people don't come close to approaching it."- T.D.A. Lingo





Incidentally, yes, the toy piano is a Schoenhut, given to me by a flute student whom I taught for 12 years.

Note: In all seriousness, the bike has many miles on it per virtue of this latest set of tires alone at least--- and the frame is as solid as can be. If one knows the history of lugged aluminum bikes, they don't simply INSTANTLY fall apart, but the tubes MAY come loose under heavy and long strenuous use such as competition, and then the bike is not usable. As in anything, like flying airplanes, driving your Ford Fairlane, or even driving fragile potentially lethal Lotus cars on the Interstate (like I do) you INSPECT the vehicle for problems regularly, and if there is a sign of a problem, you address it. You don't fly an airplane with a wing that is coming loose, and you don't drive your Lotus with a loose steering wheel. In this case, sawing this bike in half would made about as much sense as taking my Lotus Elan to the junkyard as a precautionary measure because Jim Clark died racing a Lotus at Hockenheimring.

Your Amazing Brain Adventure is a web site all about Tickling Your Amygdala- i.e. turning on the best part of your brain as easy as clicking on a light switch. This is done as easily as imagining a feather inside of your head stimulating a compass, the amygdala. The amygdala is a set of twin organs, a part of your brain that sits right in between the most advance part of your brain- the frontal lobes and pre-frontal cortex- and the most primitive part of your brain- your "reptile brain" and brain stem.  By tickling your amygdala you instantly and directly increase creativity, intelligence, pleasure, and also make possible a spontaneous natural processes known as "paranormal abilities", although such things as telepathy and ESP are really as natural as breathing, or as easy doing simple math in your head. The ability to self stimulate the amygdala by something as simple as thought has been proven in laboratory experiments, such as those conducted at Harvard University research labs, 1999-2009, and can be tracked with modern brain scanning machines such as fMRI and PET... Indeed, thought is faster than light.
