Alas the time comes where after an unquantifiable amount of buying and selling through this gracious forum i have been burnt by an individual who despite offering a refund for any items that one was unsatisfied with, refuses to refund, and in fact makes clear remark to the fact that he obviously regarded what he sold as worthless rubbish in the first place.
A certain 'Explosifpete' who resides in the wonderful Great Dunmow, who's other for sale items include a cracked planet X carbon frame (Planet X stealth carbon) -
Later relisted as frameset only (FS Planet X stealth carbon frameset damaged but rideable, £60)
and whos more recent escapades include selling me some tubular tyres, that are neither use nor ornament.
I could go into further particulars such as highlights of his for sale thread (cheap tubs in 700c and 650c) indicating:
which i find hard to believe considering one of them didn't even have a valve core, and another had a hole worn right through it, and when i did pump them all up the remaining ones didn't even hold air overnight - but ultimately he dug his own grave with the statement:
Word of warning fellow forum folk - this chap basically pedals shite.
Lesson learned from my side - any one with such a lovely unsuspectingly pleasant email address as 'friendlypete10@hotmail.com' clearly has friendliness issues....
Also available in eBay flavour - with an unexpectedly good feedback rating (petes_bikes11)
I guess he just saves all the shit that he wouldn't get away with on eBay for us humble forum folk.
