Anybody ever search "bicycle computer" on ebay? The amount of chinese stuff that comes back is insane, and for super cheap prices too.

But you can't read a damn thing in the ads, because as per usual the Chinese thought that translating English straight out of a dictionary was good enough to get the point across.

Look at that ad. WTF?

And check out this particularly juicy passage:



It is a new brand, more freely and comfortable fashion master of sport life.

WTF is that?
