hmmmmm . . .

Looks to me like some sort of a "test" . Note the notation , "the pic's did not load" .

And maybe the bidder just saw a fairly expensive , shiny , bicycle priced at $ 1.00 .

Or maybe the bidder is the sellers good-buddy , and is helping with whatever they are "testing" .

Personally , I think the good looks of racing bicycles have gone down hill ever since this type of fork became popular .

But then , to quote from the film "American Graffiti" ; "Rock & Roll has gone down hill ever since Buddy Holly died."

( or my version , "Rock & Roll has gone down hill ever since Sid Vicious died" - which has gotten a couple of conversations started at parties . . . )

( and now they're using The Ramones' , "Blitzkrieg Bop" , to hawk cell phones on the television . . . oh , I'm sorry . . . what was the subject we were talking about . . . ? )

A bike photographed and listed as "Not for Sale". It has one bid. I must be missing something. http://ebay.com/<blah>
