Crap bikes on ebay (NOT FOOTBALL, lumos2000!)

[Whatleymeister]

So, lets be honest here - I actually sometimes look for shite bikes on ebay to read the description about them being Hi-Tech and space age. It gives me a damn good giggle :roll:

Some examples, if I may...

And todays piece de resistance(s), some of them 'specialized' bikes:

massive 50mm forks! excellent quality and very expensive parts - my valve caps are better quality and more expensive!

Any others that I might not have seen, post 'em up

I notice with the fashion for old bikes having now gone mainstream the prices being asked for what is clearly carp on ebay is astonishing ! Some of the stuff the prices being asked are close to what they originally cost when they were in Kay's catalogue.

Old does not necessarily mean good and what this fashion is doing, is giving stuff that should have been recycled long ago another chance to kill the rider.

Like the bike brand ; Universal

Specialized were quick to respond last time I alerted them to someone shifting s***e on using their decals. Auction was quickly removed.
