Looks like the guy may need the money for his next hit of heroin.

So does the kid come with it. Why is he in the pic?

This listing IS a joke, right?

too dumb to be real.

(?)

there's no way english is this guy's first language.
what a strange auction...

"Sacrificing at a great price because my account is on overdraft." <-- nice.

Geez, give the lad a sandwich.

I like the load of laundry in the background for added pathos.

i'll go punch him in the face if someone pays the greyhound fare.

How funny, I'll be in Sequim, Washington in a couple weeks. Shall I ask him personally what on earth he was thinking?

Geez, give the lad a sandwich.

Knuckle sandwich, more like.

What a tool

Does this mean I have to lose the kashigood name, and get a new E-bay name?
I did the laundry yesterday, BTW.
Why are my eyes closed? Cuz I'm invisible!

What on earth were you thinking? Wanna ride bikes when I'm in Sequim?

You actually ride your bike? You must be a pro or something. Where's Sequim? :D

[QUOTE=Serendipper]Where's Sequim? :D[/QUOTE

Far side of the moon. Great for no-handed bunny hops.

Thats the perfect bike for me to ride to my dish washing job at Taco Bell. no shifters, i will just have to lower the seat all the way and put it in the Big chain ring/ smallest cog

"Even though I call it fixed gear it is set up with 3 in the front and 7 in the back."

"I was clocked on this bike riding with one speed at 45mph. Very fun!"

MERTON?! Is that you?

i'll go punch him in the face if someone pays the greyhound fare.


yeah, yeah, pay for me too. I want to go, come on, come on, pay for for me too.

Huffing paint makes bike selling hard!

I bet he knows he does not have a track bike...but has learned that if he adds "Track bike" to the description it will be seen by more people, and could possibly go higher.

I love it. He calls it a "fixed-gear" because he can't shift. Beautiful.

that makes it single speed not fixed

Why don't we all just cut the kid some slack and do his laundry for the bike. Or maybe we could trade him a unicycle.

I'll throw in the first 5. Any one else?

That was exactly my plan, and plus Im not as smart as you guys when it comes to track terminology.
I got some good laughs of this board though. It made me realize how much of an idot I am and next time I should get someone else to do my auctions for me.

Thanks for advertising my auction..

Just don't put your photograph in the next one. You gave me a nasty turn, I thought Stiv Bators was back from the dead and living in Sequim

I can't believe an internet forum thread goaded you into taking away a picture and a line about overdrafting. I mean, the incorrect factual information was problematic, but no one really cares if you're broke.

I don't know why everyone's being so hard on him, he looks completely stoned so that's cool. I find it pretty funny.

" Q: just letting you know that your being made fun of. See here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=159120

A: I know I am, im going through hard times. I dont have terminology down in the cycle scene. But I do come with the bike for whoever wants me. Hahaha good laughs. "

Man, I love this place.

Wait wait wait.. so THAT'S how you do the "shocker"?

Wait wait wait.. so THAT'S how you do the "shocker"?

that's a strange angle for the shocker...

Wow..I've been to Sequim so this in no way suprises me at all. Thats the Sequim lifestyle right there.


And Shants, I'll be an hour away fr4om there for the holidays, so I can cover the punching for you.

Actually from L.A. my friends. I am not a Sequim local and no longer live there.
Thats where I was residing at the moment. So if you still want to punch me come find me.
I am not stoned.....Weed importer from Canada got caught on his row boat in the straights. Next for sale on e-bay.......A fixed gear 21 speed track boat, Hah. For all your importing needs.

you know, i do have to say i like the way this kid is handling this thread. a track boat, you say?

Track Boat?




.......I'm listening......

I'd be more interested in a track balloon... I heard they were starting to race jet planes (http://www.rocketracingleague.com/index.html) but I like to keep it old skool.

sorry I just really wanted to bring up that they're racing rocket ships now... How freakin cool is that!!

Ok... back on topic, is that track boat NJS? Drilled for brakes?

I'll throw in the first 5. Any one else?

i'll raise it to 10.

this thread is full of lol

come on people, buy the poor guy's bike, judging from the pics, not only can he not do laundry, he can't even feed himself. I think he really needs the money. malnutrition is no joke.

+1 comeback

It interesting that someone shows up on ebay with a bike that happens to have a velorazzo frame, prolite stem and fork and some other interesting parts that match the ones that where stolen from the trunk of my car just two weeks ago from Tacoma WA, (two hours drive from sequim) and the dude doesn't even know what he talking about when he post this bike on ebay. Coincidence? Hmmmmmm.

Why yes that is very interesting. [edit - looks like the kid's legit, just not destined to be a bike mechanic]

Oh, and welcome to BikeForums!

This took a nice turn.

i looked at his ebay history, he bought everything that's on that bike, atleast he bought matching stuff, maybe it was stolen and since it matched what he had he decided to sell one of the bikes, that's a maybe i think it's a clean bike, clueless seller, clean bike

did you all see that the cyclocomputer is only half-installed? hes a bigger slacker than i

Agreed - looking at his bid history, it just seems kind of sad, really. Working on the bike for like a month, finally throws in the towel and buys a Bianchi. Someone gave him a link to this thread BTW. In his reply, he mentions that he comes with the bike :eek:

I feel like a total ass hole for starting this threat. if any mods are listening id like this thread closed :(
