Will it never end??? WILL IT???!!!!!

Let's see.. This auction is probably one of, if not THE most bewildering ones I've seen thus far for a Pista Concept. The main reason is not because it ended at a staggering $1725.. BUT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL BUY IT NOW WAS $1400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just when I think the wall bashing lump on my forehead is about to go away.. Some shit like this comes up and just send me into a fit of head against wall bashing rage!

Let's see what our illustrious buyer could've gotten with about the same money shall we?

Okay, so this first suggestion is a bit self serving but I don't really care:

A WAY fucking sexier NEW Bob Jackson super stealthy track frame AND a HED3 wheel:


An Indy Fab built Limited edition Phil Wood COMPLETE track bike:


A SICK near mint totally hooked up Felt TK2 COMPLETE track bike:


And what I personally think they should've gone for:

A Spicer frame fabricated by using their patented swirled JB weld technique:


A set of aerospoks: (but of course ((in a 'do you have any grey poupon?' kind of retort)) )


then top it all of with a Lizard Skin Regal saddle:


All that and there's still a little leftover for one more final touch:


You really wanna to be the Jam? Mount that folksy fucker on your front lawn!

Dude,stuff like that happens all the time!

Yeah, I know, but this whole thing with the Concept frames has been escalating to the point of lunacy! People are paying WAY more and getting A LOT less. I mean, you can get a custom lugged steel frame built for about the same as what the average used concept frame is retailing for these days. It's pathetic at best!

This madness stems from the fact that people have no idea how to bid on an ebay auction. People act like tards when it comes to bidding. Great for the seller, bad for the buyers. People don't understand that it's in their best interest to wait until the final few seconds to place a bid. Bidding on day 1 of a 7 day auction only increases the price. It does nothing for you.

While you're def right about that man, there most certainly is a lot more to it than just that. Though it's too much to be contained in a comment. I'll have to elaborate more in a future post. Which will most likely get me into a lot of trouble...
