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

Don't think that Google translate covers that language.

Oh man, I can't even believe that he'll honor the sale - he's got a 0 rating and he paid about $900 for the tires, in addition to the shipping cost.

He may have had a better response if he'd listed them in eBay motors instead of bicycle parts. I'm waiting to see if there's any feedback from the buyer.

If the user name is any indication, that's "gal", not "guy".

But I'm not sure if misspelling "specialized" as "speedilizer" counts as an accent. Or as a product of Common Core.

You guys are either way too gullible or I'm way too skeptical. Ever heard of criminal activity? Smells like a fish market in here!

Um, yeah, ever heard of stupidity? There's the possibility that this is someone trying to pull one over, but giving it any consideration beyond the knee-jerk leads one to believe that it's unlikely. Why go through the trouble on a marketplace that, for years, is known to heavily favor the buyer? If you are going to do that, why not list it in the proper category so that it'll get more attention and bids? Also, a quick search shows that these photos aren't in circulation on other sites (which is usually the case when someone is fishing). So yeah, this could be criminal or it could just be stupid... or it could be criminally stupid... but the risk and work doesn't seem to be worth the reward.

Translate this!: "VEREY NICE GOSE THE SEED OF A CAR WAS TESTED UP HILL DOWN HILL IN THE SNOW BRAND KNEW EXTRA KNEW TIRE HAS A MOTER ON THE BACK HEAD GEAR FANNY PACK ATTACHED ALL YEAR ROUND RIDE"

And Dralways, it's 1 deg here. "Frozen Fish Market Here..."
