Now I know cyclists can be a bit, well, strange at times, but d0sw.jpg

now, I cant agree with putting Sram on an italian frame, - but others who bought an Imperiale, did, and bought a dress!

    It is a bit worrying, i wonder what sellers think when they're packaging up a skirt and addressing it to a fellas name :shock:
    My feedback will show a lot of cycling related stuff...and all of a sudden the wife has taken to getting stuff on my account. Great for my feedback, not so good for my credibility.
    No, i'm not the ebayer in Mad Roadies post btw.

    You'll get this on other sites like Amazon too.. It happens when multiple people use an account (or perhaps in this case its just a cross dressing cyclist?)

    Its just imperfect algorithms for their targeted marketing. Could be worse though... in the past algorithms have taken the 'average' of the combination of goods, so you may have been recommended Women's cycling clothes.

    At least the current algorithms can recognize two distinct consumers.
