oooh Yes..
Free postage.. :slayer:
Bought a few bits already...
A complete bike with good custom bits fitted which I will strip down..
COLONY plastic pedals black with blue alloy ends , blue vocal 25t chainwheel , Kool Stop Brake Blocks Salmon Pads better braking..blue gyro inc cables..basically going hint of blue with the orange frame bits :slayer:
Frame and bits arriving next week due to easter hols...

Anyway...

Well..
As you are aware I had a problem with these damaged dia compe mx 1000 from..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360950123174?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&var=630298616036&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Sent them loads of pics of issus..
This was there reply..

please return the brake in its original box and original pads.. we will have to forward it to diacompe for appraisal.. providing it hasn't been damaged it will be replaced

cheeky git :D

So basically go back to diacompe (in japan   :idiot2: ) for them to say its damaged and no refund (uk seller )
yea right...
Got a good mind to sent it all back for a full refund at my cost as free postage originally..
But his feedback is a bit iffy as some have returned and no refund as not recieved goods so dont know what to do..(would send recorded)
Plus there are no other site I can find that sell at that price... ::)
So I dont know what to do...

Or option 2..
Feck it..
Bend it back.. >:(

Ebay will provide a refund if you send back to the seller as damaged. I would open a case against the seller before sending back though. The seller then gets an amount of time to sort issue or Ebay will refund you.
