You've got to wonder about this guy. Where does he find these girls? What is his sales pitch? Does he pay them to model?
Even worse, what about these girls? Is this their audition tape for the Price is Right or something? Do they put this on their modeling resume? Why would anyone in their right mind do this?

Between all the girls, I haven't actually noticed what he's trying to sell. Scrolling down fast to the pics makes the text all blurry I can't read it.

Some times I think this guy is bi-polar or something. Some times he acts quite nice and cooperative with potential buyers, other times he comes across as a real jerk. As far as where he gets the models, probably a small local model agency would be my guess.
Anyone notice that all of his bikes seem to be 60cm+ or 54 or less? Either super huge or quite on the small side. In any case, while many of his models are quite pretty, I rather looking at my women without bikes and my bikes without women. Usually that is.

I did a lot of photography in my day, and that is how I found amatuer models.

Hey everyone,
I was actually one of the models he used (I found bf.net because I checked the visitor stats from my personal website). Ken posts ads on craigslist to find models. The reason I originally wanted to work with him was that his job posting stated that he had a "large sporting goods business" and I figured that was right up my alley! I'd much rather model with things I know about and am comfortable with...plus, I can always use more experience. After I found this thread and talked to one of the members on here about his "colorful" past, I decided not to go back and work for him again. There were too many discrepancies with things that he told me and, to be honest, I wouldn't recommend buying anything from him. He seems kinda shady to me and, even with my limited knowledge of bikes (I just started mtb'ing a few months ago), it looked to me like he was exaggerating quite a bit about the history and condition of the bikes/components. I do, however, love checking his auctions and reading his replies to customer's questions. He is unbelievable!
....and creepy.....

Yeah, well, he took some pictures that I was a little surprised about when I saw them! He would say "I want to take a picture of the pedals...sit next to them so I can get you in the picture". So I'd be all smiling and posing...then when I saw the picture it was the pedals and my boobs! I was like ..'uh...ok....'

So that was a little weird. And that would be reason #5012354 why I did not go back.

I believe he is getting hits left and right but as far as selling bikes who knows! I admire his advertising angle however. Guess he thinks that a little booty and bust will sell bikes. Maybe to some folks but not all. I just wonder where he gets the girls................I counted about 4 different ones and got tired! Are they employees or just friends? I just wished I lived near there to go by and see! Now the advertisement would have been better if they were oiled down and had those short short biker shorts on and sports bra's! Maybe a fan to blow wind into their faces so their hair would flow behind them in a seductive manner. Maybe even a rain shower to get them wet! Who knows? Well, definitely fun to look at!

Before I get bashed by any females for giving my slant on advertisement keep in mind I am only placating to that type of advertisement. But you all know, men are dogs and love that mindless stuff, even me!
