Guy selling you a frame and fork as a pair, then getting them and realizing it’s a girls fork and being told bummer! Especially when the guy is supposedly a well known bike restorer! Pisser….

Not exactly the sellers fault, just another e bay flaw. When a tracking number is provided the listing shows shipped. When I provide a tracking number it's because the item is at the post office. I don't plug in info, get a number and maybe have a pick up once or twice a week. I never leave feedback for sellers that print a number and then the item actually gets shipped four or five days later.

Speaking of being married a long time ( 52 years last May ) my wife said: If I go first would you remarry? No darlin, I'm to old. Would you take up company? Uhh I don't know, maybe. Would you let her drive my car? Uhh I don't know, I guess so. Would you let her sleep on my side of the bed? Uhhh I don't know, maybe. Would you let her use my golf clubs? Uhh. no she's left handed.

I never liked the trend to turn lucky seven seat post around. Until I had no choice after building short wheel base 36 Schwinn. Last resort.

Sketchy eBay spam listings for cheap parts direct from China. I have a few "standard" eBay searches for old bike parts I do every so often because they're the kinds of parts you go through rebuilding an old bike. At some point this year, several direct-from-China sellers began listing irrelevant junk parts by tagging their listings with numerous subject tags. Now my standard searches turn up 60% direct-from-China junk parts that aren't even related to what I want.

Ok, someone posts in the Wanted section looking for a specific year or model bike, multiple people post completely unrelated bikes they are trying to get rid of?, Hey I got this bike for sale!, did they not read the title, thread?, had that happen to me a few times!

People who think that deep wallets mean someone has knowledge and wisdom.

Just because you have enough money to OWN alot of cool things doesn't mean you are an expert on anything other than how to stack money and hoard nice things.
