Whoops - something didn't get installed properly.

But everyone knows that the fork arch always goes in the front.

 

[firetoole]

no that's just the new "06 reverse reverse arch"

 

[MMcG]

about a month ago that same seller had that same bike listed for a buy it now of something like $3,500!!!! Insane!

 

[stinkyboy]

You know someone's been riding it like that too...

 

[captainpolution]

[stinkyboy]

Somebody in the Freeride forum was looking for one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/SPECIALIZED-HARDROCK-MOUNTAIN-BIKE_W0QQitemZ7181602177QQcategoryZ98083QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I'm starting to lose my patience with Ebay. For the past month I'd been trying to find a decently priced entry-level road bike and every time I found one, someone bid sniped it from me during the last 20 seconds.

 

[stinkyboy]

Holy crap, that place is close to my house! I just found a new LBS!

 

[Barbaton]

I thought it was the mounting of the rear shock (backwards to the way mine is...)

Try looking for an inexpensive digital camera... for some odd reason the ones I was looking at (3 megapixel point and shoot) all jump up to the same price range at about the same time ($70 when less than 2 days left... $100 when 1 day left - regardless of what the price is or how many previous bids.). But I'm sure it's all legit

I've been in that pawn shop!! I bought a bass guitar from them.

You need to bid snipe them in the last 10sec. or 5sec......that'll show 'em!

 

[lovebunny]

haha i new it as soon as you said somethings not installed properly. i clicked it and was like i bet its a mamnitou fork

Whoever put that bike together is a ****in' retard

That's how I do it. You either need to watch and snipe or go big on the bid.

They're probably using esnipe - you should too.

Why pay money to do something that I can do for free?

 

[beestiboy]

Isnt there a website/program that snipes for you(not sure if it has been banned by ebay). I know someone a couple of years ago that used them all the time. It was pretty slick, he got a couple of old Jaguars for real cheap

 

[Biscuit]

Man! I've been working on a design to mount the disc brake to the right side (so I can turn left faster) and somebody goes and beats me to it.

 

[PatBranch]

Oh I know, its not rootbeer, and it has a crapipou.

What an idiot.........

Can the fork take the abusive forces that way?

Well, obviosly your girl can't do it, otherwise she wouldn't be complaining.
auctionsniper.com If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
It's super cheap (less than 25 cents), lets you change your mind, and gets you lots of stuff for less than suckers pay.

Oh, and it's not illegal. eBay has no idea that it's auctionsniper placing the bid and not you.

If they snipe me over my maximum bid, how am I sniped?

I bid my highest bid in the last 30 seconds. If someone goes over...oh well.

 

[black noise]

Outside magazine had a buyers guide section about a year ago and in it they had a Blur and 2 other bikes, all with backwards-mounted Manitous. I was appalled.

How much of an idiot do you have to be? Disc is on the other side, you have negative rake (I think it's called rake), the crown is pointing backwards, stickers are going backwards, often there's a "Reverse Arch" sticker somewhere on the fork...

You sir are an obvious but under estimated genius.

that's what I use...and you only pay them if you win...D

 

[erastusboy]

i asked the guy if he would fix the fork if I bought it. said he didnt know anything about it but would knock a few bucks off.

 

[robdamanii]

I asked something as well. I asked if he was aware the fork was on backwards and here is the reply, copied from my ebay....

"I am fully aware of the fact that the forks are on backwards. im going to try to get those fix'd soon and then post up some pictures. If anything i will change the price of the auction if i cannnot have a tech fix it. thank you. "

Dumb as a goddamned rock....
