Was it on Ebay? Not Me btw, I've still got mine from bitd

naa was on gumtree, never much on there but on the off chance i saw it

Guess who feels like a twat now!

He said someone had offered him 50quid for the frame and bars...but then said if I gave him 45 I could have the frame
I told him I couldn´t spend that much and then he offered me them both for 45 so I said DEAL!.

I was gutted to find it´s got a crack in the left seatstay....I got it through a courier so maybe that´s why he sold it to me, not being able to check it over

He swore it was fine when he boxed it and it must have been the courier

haha its alright, its the guys fault,

cracked! courier would have to be pritty harsh to crack that thing!
how bads the crack? could be intrested if its fixable 

how did the bars turn out anyway? from the photo's looked uncut to me
get some picks up!

[skidmark]

Should be able to fix it so I´ll be holding on I´m afraid.  The bars look full size, just a little bit rusty(they´ll be staying with the frame too unless I can get some graveyards!!)

Yeh, the courier would need to have loaded his van with a wrecking ball to crack it...but the box was spotless!!!

How do yer post pics?

[andy_116]

ok then, to post pictures upload them to photobucket.com then just copy and paste the IMG code

[skidmark]

I´ve just been tryin to upload pics on photobuchet and it´s a right pain in the nuts!!

If anyone has an easier way, let me know....if not I´ll try again when I´m not starving hungry

[skidmark]

Figured it out...here is the frame and bars in question. 

Apart from the crack, it´s very clean, no dents and the dropouts are good.  Obviously the paint is not the best! and the bars should come up ok. 

After a threatening email to the guy, he agreed to refund half the money which would make it a right bargain! we´ll see if he comes through....I feel a bit cheeky but he took the piss saying it was the courier who cracked it :idiot2:The cracks got rust on it for fooks sake!!

[andy_116]

its nice to here he's geting his karma for messing me about!

you definitely called his bluff with the rust! hopfully you can get it fixed up easy enough, should scrub up a treat

[Ozzie53]

The courier would have needed to actually run over the Sabbath in his van several times to cause that crack & i guarantee the van would have suffered some damage.

the amount of times Ive heard "damage must have been caused during transit, was fine when it left me" through ebay, If I had a penny everytime I heard it, haha
