Humorous Road Forum spoof of Bike Buying Guide (thanks to dannyg1 for the original text and inspiration):
I own four (company name)'s and think they're among the finest (country) has to offer. Beautifully built and well appointed, they're great whether ("construction type #1 or construction type #2"). They ride and are built very similarly to (other company)'s bikes, which is to say, beautifully. At $(price), I'd say it's a damn good buy.
Which also holds true for the Craigslist Seller's Mentality About Buyers:
I own four Magna's and think they're among the finest Taiwan has to offer. Beautifully built and well appointed, they're great whether electro-welded, or robot-built. They ride and are built very similarly to Huffy's bikes, which is to say, horribly. At $250, I'd say it's a damn good buy.
