Weird stuff I've learned from ebay while looking for bike stuff

[Fishbike]

Bill Davidson is not only a frame builder, but apparently a porn star

A search for "49 cm frame" will get all kinds of portraits of Khadafi

"Titanium frameset" once yielded a male corsett

Bianchi makes gun holsters

Orbea is a flower

You have to sort through lot of crystal to find Waterford bikes

Olmo is a shoe company and baseball player

Calfee writes books for kids

What weird stuff have you found?

Not sure about the Ebay search function, but on Google "-crystal" (quotes not required) will get rid of that.

Oh and those who search for Merckx are also vastly interested in the mc2100wa (apparently that's a threadmill speed control board). Who would have thought :D

A search for "Spectrum Titanium" finds ...

- Hockey cards
- Phone cases
- Ski bindings
- Lug nuts
- Knives
- Playing cards
- Hair straightener
- Shift knob

... and NO bikes or frames. :no:

I search for "bertoni" and "Phillipe" came out as a result of the search!... weird! hmmm....

People selling fake frames on ebay will list the item in a city like "Beverly Hills" to deceive you of it's authenticity, but stays ambiguous and you cannot pickup. Once you receive it, the UPS label will most likely be from a city 50 miles away.

....but at least you did receive it! Could have gone much worse.

I understand that Allan Holdsworth also enjoys riding as a hobby. You are correct he is one amazing guitarist.
