Instead of saying "ON ONE OF THE MIDDLE LONG BARS READS THE LOGO (TANGE 1)" he would say "Tange 1 tubing". He would say "Comes with toe clips and straps and Shimano pedals" instead of bumbling around and saying something like "CHAINS WORKS GOOD AND PEDDLES TOO, EVEN COME WITH STRING TO TIE YOUR FEET ON PEDDLE". Lastly, he would know that it's not "ALUMINUM MATERIAL AND VERY LIGHT".

That's why it stinks of theft. In bd's opinion, and in mine.
