Check out this sweet Rockhopper!!
"AWESOME OFF ROAD BIKE! Try finding a deal like this anywhere. Get a $1200 bike for $300. Specialized Rock Hopper, great knobbies, hardly used for a steal! Gel seat and 2 water bottle hubs! Sweet ride!"
Quick - when was the last year Specialized offered non-suspended Rockhoppers?
.
.
Do you think the lack of decals is suspicious? At least the forks aren't bent....

Outing myself here. I decided to have fun with my most recent eBay ad. (I'm not too concerned if it actually sells. At least all this stuff is now stowed away in a box!)
And in the spirit of the Box O' Crap, I offer you this pic of the box ready to ship.
