With the dents in the wheel, you'd have to throw in the girl before I'd consider even the starting bid. I bet it goes unsold.

the thing is Creaky, is that she looks used as well.
And with the "flag" behind the ad, may not have the intelligence to match. though I do agree with you on a redhead with curves.

That's OK because I can guarantee you as hot as you find your wife to be (and that's great!) someone will think she's "homely". Or a dog. Or a buttaface. That's life. Everyone has different ideas of what "hot" is.

Anybody see this auction? In particular, the photos? 
Reminds me of another seller (elmo I think?) who always goes to great lengths to do the same for all of his bikes.

(and no this is not my auction)

Why? As long as there is no nudity, I'd say go for it. If people want to shell out more money because the bike or part is held by a chick.....more power for 'em. It just saves me from getting bid against on other items that don't by those kind of people.

I think she's cute. And hey...if a girl in a bikini helps him sell the wheel...more power to him.

She actually looks like an ex of mine - who has the same build, same smile, same fair skin, and the same posture. She'd never pose for an ebay auction though.

I about fell over laughing when I read the description!
"Plus, you can't ride this wheel slow enough for the blemishes to show."
"This means that statistically, you have a 2.6% chance of being on the podium of the Tour de France" "weighs 1100 grams, which is the equivalent of 220 nickels."
Seriously, who the hell writes this??!
Those quotes alone would make me want to buy it if it didn't cost a couple month's income...
