Some turd in London is advertising a 55cm Singer for sale for $1200. Its a marvelous bike. Unfortunately, the bike belongs to Mark Petry and the picture used is from Mark's web site. Even if one didn't recognize it as Mark's any idiot can see that the bike is MUCH larger than 55cm and that the picture was taken in the United States. The autos on the Bainbridge Island ferry don't really look very European 8*)

Just for kicks, I asked the "seller" a question via e-mail. He responded this morning. The e-mail exchange is copied following.

Question. How can one get the local (London?) authorities involved in putting this low-life where he belongs, i.e. the local gaol?
