I keep seeing this style of description - what a load of old crap! Write the description yourself - even if it's nonsense it won't be A.I. nonsense!

Can't quite tell what's going on with the top of the seat tube but could be a fun summer project - recreating the overall effect.

It makes me very sad to read the "AI" - generated crap. What makes me even sadder is that people are using this shite and genuinely believe this is "progress" and this is the future.

Bring back the days when "Artificial Intelligence" referred to a blonde who dyed her roots black.

If a human wrote that description it would be fraudulently misleading.

Upgrade your bike?
Upgrade to a threaded headset and 26" wheels cantis and qrs🤣

Suit a professional?🤪

Tackle any terrain?
Join the Dots at bike park wales perhaps.

These bikes certainly have value and charm, but this ai stuff is Bullsh1t.

The idea AI is going to be running the planet in a few days/months/years is either absurd, surreal or alarming, or all 3

If there's an AI ebay description, I just move on. Firstly the seller must be full of cr4p, secondly I'm helping reduce the value by not bidding.
🤣

Most folk take the easy path nowadays. If AI can save you from having to think, then it's all good.

It would make interesting reading to see what AI would make of a shirt button............
 
I quote:
"This blue shirt button is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your shirts and blouses. Made of durable plastic, this 4-hole flat button is suitable for any occasion. Its round shape and single unit of sale make it an ideal choice for those who want to enhance their sewing projects.

Owning such a bike can be a source of pride and a great conversation starter. Additionally, well-maintained vintage bikes often appreciate in value, making this not just a purchase, but an investment.
  4. Customizability: The Cinder Cone frame offers a great platform for customization. You can build it up with modern components to create a unique bike that combines classic style with contemporary performance.
  5. Ride Quality: The geometry of the 1991 Kona Cinder Cone is designed for a balanced and responsive ride. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or cruising around town, the frame and forks provide a reliable and enjoyable riding experience.
