That guy's at it again? It's been posted for sale on ebay before. I think someone figured out the dude is trying to get even with Guru by selling it on ebay. Not sure how that works but not my problem.

It's a rant, a novel one, at Guru bound to attract attention and stimulate discussions. Like this one.

I struggle with finding frames with tall enough seat and head tubes, and short enough top tubes. It looks like it would be easy to 'adjust' the top tube on this frame to be shorter before I glued it back together. Gorilla Glue is miracle stuff, right?

otoh, it didn't break in a place where you would expect it to break if there was a crash involved. Clean breaks at the joints == manufacturing defect in my book
