I don't use Biagio / Vert-Ego / Rockchick_1 very often, mainly due to pricing.....BUT..... if I am desperate for a specific part and he has it then it's good to know he is there - his prices are often very high but his service (for me at least) has always been spot on and I certainly don't think he is going to steal from you - he's a shop FFS ! he want's repeat custom !

Yeh your right but after the last message whch he sent on here and some of his feedback is negative think im just going to steer clear,but thats just me  :yahoo_silent:

I do think sending cash in the post is pretty naive though - think of all the hands it has to pass through - I think the blame for your lost money may lie elsewhere  :-X  ::)

Yeh your right again i done it before and really i should have sent it recorded like he says,or even sent a cheque  ???

Good luck with the build - and lose that braced seatpost  :-X :LolLolLolLol:

Think ill leave it all as it is now and see how it looks when all built  :coolsmiley:

if you are sending cash in the post you should ALWAYS send it special delivery, you cannot expect biagio to send you the goods if the money has gone missing....
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

Just Cut it...if you sit on it at the way it is now you will be putting too much stress on the frame,sure if you ask nicely someone on here will have an old chromo post they will donate or hand over for the price of a bag of chips.

i know just how you feel about losing money, biagio - when you didn't receive the seat i sent back to you, and then you didn't complete the lost post form for me, i ended up losing Ł108.
