I'm not one for pointing fingers at other peoples efforts but this guy really takes some believing.

By far the worst panto I've ever seen. How can this add value?

I feel a crime has been committed here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Campagnol...Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aedc56499

Here are some completed auctions, these are superb !!

I do feel somewhat bad but I actually laughed when I saw those erm "pantographed" parts. Fair play for giving it a go and trying to make some money but there has to be a semblance of skill & dexterity if your going to attempt to produce something of beauty. I wonder what Ernesto would make of it all...

A few pints of fine ale and the engraving will look superb :facepalm:

no session ales Ian, straight onto the 5.5% stuff and plenty of it! Think i'd still struggle to find any artistry :shock:
 
The expression - 'at least he tried' comes to mind.
It also would put me off even trying now!! Although i actually think that if the whole bike was done right, peculiar pantoed bits everywhere and an odd paint scheme where the paint is a 'bit off' like one fork leg a different colour than the other and nothing symetrical - it might look ok!!!

Looking for my coat now ....
 
...........somewhere in the garage is a bag of my failed 1970's "Drillium", tempted to put it on e-bay :)

I saw these! Oh man that's a knee slapper. I for one do not feel bad about laughing, teach youself a skill and then try to sell it.
 
Dear god! They looked ok, from a distance and on my tablet's screen.

Then I zoomed in. Fair play to him, at least he has tried. I would give him some advice, I think, and that would be "Don't bother, find another hobby"

The upsetting thing is he has taken some half decent components and made them, instead of worth more, worthless!
 
Quality. The best thing is, if you look at the sellers feedback, a couple of people have bought his 'artwork' and are happy with it.

Each to their own....
