Both rerereposts

Guilty for the first repost.
Checked at least a week back,
never found the original post.
Still amazed by it.
Seller was open to offers .

Tried to persuade the gf to buy a couple of bikes this weekend.
This being one of them:
Pretty incredible deal.

What did you do to me?

Woah... That's beyond fail that is!

Hmmm, that Quinn in the bath finished at £202 and has been relisted at £245. Getting a bit steep methinks, nice though it is.

Was obviously a scam, interesting to see people arguing over who had first dibs!

I didn't think it was that obvious, sometimes people do just want rid of old things that aren't of use to them. Still if you bank transfer/paypal gift without any suspicion you're a mug...

this one stinks.

A Colnago Regal frame sells for £4k plus. Campag 50th Anniversary set sells for circa £2k.
Seller only registered one day ago and the auction runs for three days. Zero feedback. Cha.

but what if it's real….?

It probably is real...really someone else's property?

58cm Alu Colnago?
I know nothing about road bikes. Could be real or fake, I've no clue.

Anyone care to guess how much this beast will weigh? Haha!

as much as a sack full of turds?

Big beefy turds.

Story time.

One day, an old professor of the School of Public Management in France, was invited to lecture on the topic of “Efficient Time Management” in front of a group of 15 executive managers representing the largest, most successful companies in America. The lecture was one in a series of 5 lectures conducted in one day, and the old professor was given 1 hr to lecture.

Standing in front of this group of elite managers, who were willing to write down every word that would come out of the famous professor’s mouth, the professor slowly met eyes with each manager, one by one, and finally said, “we are going to conduct an experiment”.

jar of rocks
From under the table that stood between the professor and the listeners, the professor pulled out a big glass jar and gently placed it in front of him. Next, he pulled out from under the table a bag of stones, each the size of a tennis ball, and placed the stones one by one in the jar. He did so until there was no room to add another stone in the jar. Lifting his gaze to the managers, the professor asked, “Is the jar full?” The managers replied, “Yes”.

The professor paused for a moment, and replied, “Really?”

Once again, he reached under the table and pulled out a bag full of pebbles. Carefully, the professor poured the pebbles in and slightly rattled the jar, allowing the pebbles to slip through the larger stones, until they settled at the bottom. Again, the professor lifted his gaze to his audience and asked, “Is the jar full?”

At this point, the managers began to understand his intentions. One replied, “apparently not!”

“Correct”, replied the old professor, now pulling out a bag of sand from under the table. Cautiously, the professor poured the sand into the jar. The sand filled up the spaces between the stones and the pebbles.

Yet again, the professor asked, “Is the jar full?”
Without hesitation, the entire group of students replied in unison, “NO!”

“Correct”, replied the professor. And as was expected by the students, the professor reached for the pitcher of water that was on the table, and poured water in the jar until it was absolutely full. The professor now lifted his gaze once again and asked, “What great truth can we surmise from this experiment?”

....that there is a correct way to fill a sack of turds, so it weighs the same as the fixie above.
