why would it make 5 bids in a row in about 3 minutes when nobody else outbid him? Seems crazy to me. I wonder what his limit is, I'm tempted to go $600 and see what happens.

you'll end up with a $600 frame that you wanted to pay $300 for!

Look at the times, it's not proxy bidding. Was there a reserve on this frame? He's only got one feedback, so he's an ebay noob, which means he'll probably be paying too much, because he doesn't know better.

no reserve, he just keeps outbidding anyone who bids.

Wampi just bid $425, he'll be along soon to beat that

Man, that was a real bender of a job. 2 A0 posters in 2 days. No brief, no copy, no images.

TGIF.

Am I too late to say how much I now despise Bettini?

You'll want to invite this guy over to play poker sometime. No control, no restraint.

D'oh! I wouldn't know how to get there from my house. We usually go in around Adamstown/Kotara, and do a loop around and through to the beach, with a coffee stop, then back.

He's an Italian (obviously

), who's just retired, but he's not doing the Giro, so he was just doing a bit of a farewell to his "Ity" fans. Cipo has always been known as being a bit flashy -- he's sort of the Dermy of pro cycling.

You guys know much about the different brands of home trainers?

I started a thread about Tacx trainers

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...43#post1159443

I've only ever had one, which was a Mag, and I got rid of it after not using it for a while, so I don't have much experience with them.
