Jo knew that the frame was chukker's; he knew it was a prototype; he knew it was built for LPC. Chukker made it clear when he handed me the frame to put together and I made it clear to Jo when he picked it up. "This is chukker's frame, prototype and it is for the LPC". He knew exactly what the deal was and this is also shown from his own posts on the thread that he was aware of the deal. I don't understand why bin it? He could simply ask for someone to pick it up. (Hence my surprise!). Binning it or selling it is no different- he knew this bike was not his to keep so he had no right to bin it/sell it etc. If someone else stole it from him, why didn't he say something to me when I saw him or to LPC?
As for what to do now... Could LHBPA offer the twitter guy some cash for his work on the frame and for the frame to be returned to LHBPA? He sounded reasonable and with this he gets some cash to find a fixie and the frame is returned?
Just my thoughts - but not really opinions for or against anything. Just my thoughts trying to process this really !
If Jo gives the 160. I'm happy for the money of my parts to be put in LHBPA. Not sure if I believe in loaner bikes anymore. Seems people are taking the piss and show no appreciation. This loaner bike gave Jo 1 year of polo and it also took him to work and back. I am disappointed and surprised and I am sorry for all this as this was an important frame for chukker :(
