Trade large Mongoose Alta for Sour Candy – $20


Large chromoly frame. Fits 5’9″ comfortably with the seat all the way down. Has quick fire trigger shifters and shimano components. Well used. Could use a nice thorough lubing or tune up. Seat is a little rough, paint is decent, tires are good but are a deep, fat, rubbery offroad tread so it squeaks like new shoes on the sidwalk, but everything works and it can be ridden away immediately.

Prefer soft sour candy (no generic sour candy, please). Prefer Sour Patch Kids, Trolli Sour Gummi Brite Crawlers, Sour Gummi Life Savers. No hard candy.

Will also trade for good soda (pure Cane Jones, good ginger ale) or Skyy.

Trade a bicycle for sour candy? Exactly how much candy does this guy want? And how much sour candy can one person eat? I think we’ve got a sugar addiction on our hands here … do we really want to enable him?

In good news, if you do decide to trade this guy 40 pounds of gummi bears for a bike, I know where you can get some lube for free.

    So he wants candy, soda, or vodka as payment? Does one get brownie points for throwing them all into a 5 gallons drum and saving him some time?

    You know, you never really hear about stuff being “worth its weight in Sour Patch Kids” – I think I’ve just found my new favorite phrase.

    How does the $20 get involved in the bike-for-candy trade?
