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

Ready. . . .

Fraud:



The camera phone pics do not help his case.


If you scroll to the bottom, "Report This Auction" is located under "Other Options."

Also note that it is listed as a 2008 model. He must not have been very happy with it . . .

That's starting bid and ready to suck in suckers.

Or the vendor was severely depressed by the snow in MN.

People selling high end bikes on ebay should definitely put their user names in the picture of the product they are selling.

Just in case the OP doesn't quite understand what's going on here:
