My personal favourite VeloSpace ever was when someone posted up a grainy mobile phone pic of a pair of stock Pista bars and a stem laying on his bed, next to his feet (which were in dirty socks, by the way) and claimed that it was his 'sick track bike' - because the rest of it was coming in the mail and he just couldn't wait to post up pictures of the parts he had already.
I noticed an Oakland A's cap in the picture, so I posted it on SFFixed asking the culprit to own up
and the entire VeloSpace listing disappeared. I felt a little mean, but what the hell. I also remember seeing one where the guy drew (badly) a picture of his 'dream fixxie' with a pencil. I thought that one was a joke until he updated it to a pic of the real bike once he'd built it and they looked pretty similar.
Yes, I am a sad bastard with too much time on his hands.
