For the record a quick search shows Yusef bought the Ortleib Pannier which this guy was selling for £15!
Might explain his moral stance/defence of said nefarious ruffian.

It reeks of shit. But let the man speak! I have been on a massive quest to find the right saddle, yet I can't ever imagine being in the possession of eight saddles. It just reeks, and an explanation isn't exactly forthcoming...but I'm open to hearing one. The HoV saddle is pretty damning though. If its not like you can buy one - plus one has gone missing just before this one showed up, is that all not evidence enough? #courtroom is well roflcopter though.

I asked to buy it, but was told someone else had dibed it be for me so didnt get round to buying it (this has happened before where I dibs it first, but someone else msgs before me) . Once again let's not make assumptions again. However, I am sorry to hear about your stolen saddle and thats more than a coincidence for sure. Hence, perhaps you guys may have a point....... Too many coincidences, but as d-goods said, let the man speak and defend himself before we kill him.

Nobody sell an Ortleib panniers for £15 knowing they'll make a massive loss, unless they're trying to get rid of it to avoid suspicion.

He's said elsewhere he's based around London Fields. Very dodgy.

Sorry no pannier bought as someone else got to it before me. Was that you? Well enjoy if it was.

Must have been one of those "need cash quick" sales. Someone else out there has asbestos gloves.

One ol culprit very recently out of prison around London Fields some local sources tell me. This person was responsible for a lot of thefts around there and things seem to be going that way again in that location, unfortunately.
Do let me know if anyone comes across any grey open pros on miche hubs please and good work for being vigilant. Just lost those around the very place this fella seems to stomp around. -

Cool in that case keep an eye on @KYMS&WAY for more bargains you can snap up.
Head down to Brick Lane at the weekend loads of cheap bike gear down there. -

My friend that's a horrible thing to say to someone. I wouldn't wish that on you or anyone for that matter. FYI, I've had over £2000 of stuff stolen from me and I several years ago I got mugged £7000 cash which was for a deposit to go study in the USA, only weeks before studies started, so please don't even go there...... and yes it bloody hurts, and it's very hard to forget. I would not buy something if I felt it was stolen, but fact is when I dibs the panniers that was my first time posting on that thread. I wasn't aware of the latest coincidence regarding the van saddle. You can speak your mind on forums, but there's no need to wish ill on someone for making a valid point of let's not kill someone unless we can prove they are guilty. That's all I was trying to say. Very hurtful to speak with such spite towards someone else.

Why are you hell bend on protecting him?

I'm not at all. I don't even know him and apologies if people think that, It's just that I had an incident on this forum sometime ago and I was selling a bunch of very old wheels and tyres that I had lying around in the garden and immediately people began calling me a thief etc and I found that very hurtful to be accused of something I'm not. this is why I was trying to make a point again of not painting someone guilty until there is evidence, but it seems to have back fired somewhat. Intentions were good, but it is what it is. New day tomorrow and let's get on with that everyone.

Didn't you see all his sale threads? It's pretty obvious the guy is not a good seller, and people have reported the same things he's selling stolen in the same area...did you just want a bargain?
