Quality eBay advertising... *whistle*
Anybody see this auction? In particular, the photos? 
Reminds me of another seller (elmo I think?) who always goes to great lengths to do the same for all of his bikes.

(and no this is not my auction)

She really needs a tan. Otherwise, I agree; good ad.

His write-up for the frame (see seller's other auctions) is pretty well written, as well!

Ebay should ban recognizable faces of people. It's just bad form. Tacky, too!

is she single? (and over 18)
I wonder if he would respond?
