Title: Another eBay clown
Post by: Jaan on January 27, 2014, 11:43 AM
So,,, according to this seller you have a "very rare" and "genuine" opportunity to own a pair of Shimano DX pedals that not only are two different colours but one is 9/16 the other 1/2!!!  :wtf:

Oh, and they're yours for £250

Awesome!  It's reminded me, I have some shoes for sale if anyone is interested?

One is a womens size 3 high heel in red leather, and the other is a mens size 12 Vans.  Please note they are both lefts.

They are very rare though.  One million English quids.

lol funniest thing I've read in a while.

As was WINI's post above.

He should have put they were originally boxed up by Stevie Wonder, could have added another £100 to the asking price.

What the hell is he going on about with this bit:

"I planned to aquire an adapter bush to fit over the 1/2 inch left pedal to use on three piece crank set but got around to it.
 The adapter bush is basically a shim that screws over the 1/2 pedal thread and has a 9/16 thread on the out side so can be insterted to three piece cranks.
 Please note that i never got around to sourcing the bush"

Surely if they existed people wouldn't have to piddle about swaping spindles. It would be good if it was that easy though  :daumenhoch:

Even if it was that easy would you want odd coloured pedals?

He should have also added "I was going to strip them down and get them re-annodised but never got round to it, but its easy enough to do" lol
