It's funny...and its true!

mattface 10-17-06 10:03 AM

No wonder I'm not getting any. The chicks can smell a $10 Miche bottom bracket a mile away.

ryand 10-17-06 10:03 AM

theres a whole thread devoted to craigslist and ebay. its a sticky at the top of the page. throw this up in there. somebody even posted that ad there too.

talkingtotigers 10-17-06 10:04 AM

f***ing great.

wnatw 10-17-06 10:32 AM

and i also have a set of great nashbar calipers for sale if anyone's interested god damn it.

spud 10-17-06 10:34 AM

i bought that campy BB.

wnatw 10-17-06 10:36 AM

also they removed the pictures of the BB and kate winslet, that's what tied it all together.

seriously though, somebody buy these so i can move on and get some new ones.

you should have known that any creativity is a clear violation of the dc cl terms of service

wnatw 10-17-06 10:46 AM

i think it was more along the lines of accident victims being offended at my descriptions of what might happen to you if you don't purchase my brakes.

i also tried posting one completely in l33t speak, but they didn't like that one either.

And...?? Does it work? Or was that just false advertising?

*new*guy 10-17-06 11:52 AM

Interesting. I've always assumed that the poster of that ad was on this forum... wnatw are you the same person who had the porch cleaning sale a while back? Wrong? Right? Delusional? Perhaps.

wnatw 10-17-06 12:01 PM

Wrong. I've never had a porch cleaning sale.

Another ad will be appearing soon for an entire bike... I'm thinking of typing up something connecting it to the fall of Rome, with pic goodness.

dirtyphotons 10-17-06 12:03 PM

dude, if you're gonna keep doing this i think you should have your own thread here or on dcfixed or both. nobody takes pride in their work anymore (says the guy being paid to read bikeforums)

its still in the box i'm debating what frame to stick it in.

spud 10-17-06 12:11 PM

delusional indeed

wnatw 10-17-06 12:14 PM

would that my job be as chill... unfortunately i think the ITs here suspect something and i'm constantly clearing my history before logging off at night.

all of this CL crap was borne of one horribly miscalculated parts order from Nashbar, now over two months ago. I sold the BB to ryand who then apparently passed it onto Spud, I NEED TO SELL THESE CALIPERS SOMEONE BUY THEM, and finally my roomate is trying to sell a bike that he built up over the winter. after that, i've got nothing more to offer except a smile.

ryand 10-17-06 12:16 PM

i was picking it up FOR spud. he lives in virginia, so i picked it up. :)

wnatw 10-17-06 12:25 PM

my bad, sir. but speaking of "picking up", i saw that drunk lady the very next day. she called me "honey" and winked at me. it made me feel all warm inside.

ryand 10-17-06 12:30 PM

she was awesome.

xthugmurderx 10-17-06 12:40 PM

who stops for red lights? what a joke.

wnatw 10-17-06 12:54 PM

those who ride down 18th st during rush hour probably should.

in fact, i seem to remember a thread... ah, here:

pics please or I'll be unable to finish...

ryand 10-17-06 12:56 PM

haha, tink! he does have a brake though.

edit: in response to wnatw's post.

xthugmurderx 10-17-06 01:03 PM

i fail to see what i'm supposed to apparently, aside from person on a bike stopped in the middle of the street, it seems like the right of the bus is all clear. i don't get it.
