Perfect photos and setting for a pricy carbon bike. You just know it's been well taken care of.

The most carefully staged eBay photo
The Bugati must have been in the shop. Is it wrong to hope this bike rolled backwards, and the Tesla cushioned its fall?

Not necessarily a wacky listing. I think it's pretty fair, all things considered. But the components themselves certainly quailfy!

The stem looks like it is way above minimum insertion line and is about to snap... and o, yeah, it's got the off road rear wheel option!
The odd thing about that rear wheel substitution is that the top tube still looks level... it's magic!

I was at Walmart yesterday in the “garden center” and noticed that they were pre-oxidizing the BSO’s

My grasp of geography is failing.
Where in Italy are/were Panasonic bikes made???? Was it just outside of Pisa or Palermo, or Padau??
Seller tries to bluff and says "hardly ever rode at this price its a steal (look it up you see)", when clearly he didn't bother to google the name "Panasonic". It is a DX-2400 and at not bad a price but the photos are abysmal and any seller this stupid seems hardly worth the visit.
