Amusing/dangerous Ebay listings

[jay clock]

Just found two cracking Ebay ads

My fave is this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carrera-S...Bikes_GL&hash=item35b480cddb&autorefresh=true

"just one or two very minor signs of normal everyday wear. The only thing which is missing are the detachable foam handlebar covers, which I purposefully removed because they were making my palms sweaty!"

So, no grips and no end plugs. Ouch in the event of an accident.

And this one. I just pray it is bought by someone with a tiny idea of what a bike should look like or sense to get it set up in a (non Halfords) shop.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CARRERA-SUBWAY-2-/250875693101?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3a695b482d

Both of those seem ok for starter bikes, get them checked out at LBS and should be ok.

The 1st one having no grips is ok, standard subway grips are pretty uncomfortable and should be changed.

But on the 2nd one you definitely need to fit the handlebars and forks the right way around on the 2nd one though

I think you need to get out more if those two get you excited

It probably makes me a saddo or weirdo, but if that as nearer home I'd probably go for that just for the giggle.

Youd have to outbid me first.

A pal has lent us one and it is in the shed. Yet to get very far on it myself, although t2 has managed quite well.

Well the wife said she wanted a trike lol, wonder how much shopping she could fit in it

Although I must admit I did have one of the microbikes

 

[phantasmagoriana]

This one made me a bit sad. Ok, the frame isn't anything special but it just seems a shame to hack the seatpost on a nice old mixte...

 

[apollo179]

I dont think ive ever seen anyone on one of these.
