It's more a case of the seller is being forced by his Mrs to throw out that crappy old bin and wanted to give it one last hurrah. Quite rightly so, as which of you bike tragics has a Campagnolo Super Record Reynolds 531 bin? The stickers have been on there for years actually as long ago the bin was used for ferrying bike parts to swap meets and the like.morini wrote:Those dirty rotten stoner meth dealer kids misleading this poor honest bloke just trying to make a buck to pay his bills.
No wonder he's sad to see it go ... but it is broken and busted. And you think the Mrs. would be proud but no, she hangs her head when reading the copy and mentioned the seller has the photoshop skills of a 2 ear old. Chicks !!!
