Someone is selling a bike from MY garden!

[ufkacbln]

This has come up on EBay.....

Pashley U plus 2

It may be legitimate... BUT

The photograph is one I took of the U Pus 2 I sold several years ago in my garden.

Here are the originals!

One wonders why they are using my photographs (presumably downloaded from t'internet) rather than up to date photographs

I sold a saddle on here only to find it pop up on roadcc using my pictures and for a fiver more.

before I had access to digital photography I edited the ebay seller's photo of a job lot I'd bought to lose the bits I was keeping and shifted the rest onwards with airbrushed photo worthy of the one of Lenin making a speech

I took a photo of a mountain bike that I used to once have and put it on Photobucket.

It was robbed out of my shed and then about a year later a post came up on Bikeradar I think it was, the guy was posting his own stolen alert, and was told to post photos of his bike for help.

The photo he posted was mine!

I spent a while coaxing info out of him hoping for some answers, when he finally admitted it wasn't his bike, just a photo he'd found.

I don't know about the bike, but your lawn is dreadful.

Foxes!

What, playing football?

What, playing football?

... and if I may say so doing it with a far higher standard than the England team!

I sold some stuff on here to a friend of a member and they wanted some pics sent by email to confirm the condition.

Duly sent the goods the next morning after receiving payment and about an hour after posting I noticed them for sale on ebay using my pics for the same amount I had sold them for.

I don't know about the bike, but your lawn is dreadful.

Send an email with an invoice to the seller requesting payment for using your images without your permission or he takes them down.

What do you fasten that contraption to by the way?

 

[ufkacbln]

The seatpost, it is a trailer bike for two kids.

With the two wheels it dose not have the "flick" efect that many single wheel trailer bikes have and is letha on a 2 kd trailer bike.

There is basically a peg that fits to the seatpost, the hitch on the U Plus 2 then ataches to this.

Good news is that with two kids it has more than enough power to drive the whole apparatus.

i thought they were mints

.......... Or charming young ladies?

Unfortunately whilst my wife may accept a few foxes in the back garden

Keeping a harem of pretty young ladies under the shed may not go down well
