Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Their images have failed to load for me for several weeks now. It's sporadic and annoying. I have to hit F5 to reload a listing several times before I can get an image to look at.

Working fine here... but the auctions I'm browsing are using their own image hosting, not ebay's image hosting service.

While on the subject of ebay, here's something odd. This guy has a really good feedback rating and is selling lots of frames:

https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbikekingusaQQhtZ-1

When I looked at his feedback to see what the 3 negatives were, one of them stood out:

FRAUDULENT LISTING, ITEM STILL LISTED AS CARBON POST, IS ALLOY "WRAPPED CARBON"
Buyer cpyardsale ( 42Feedback score is 10 to 49) Nov-22-05 16:26


It looks like some junior OCP wannabe bought a cheap "carbon" post without looking at it too carefully. He's also selling some "carbon" stems that are clearly a wrap of white carbon around an alloy stem.
