@tmag is the guy from Bristol i've bought Mielec bike from couple of years ago.
spent +£40 on petrol to get to bristol, the bike came with no pedals, so couldn't ride it on the spot, everything seemed fine. When i've put cranks in it turned out that the bb thread(on both bb and frame) was fucked (there was no grease whatsoever inside the bb thread) and was creaking like fuck. The guy has refused to take it back and give me the money back, said it was fine with him. Said all he could do is to refund the new bb. Ideally i wanted to return the frame, but as i have just invested so much i've decided to repair it and keep it. So i had the frame professionally repaired and new bb fitted, fortunately my mates at lmnh made me a huge discount. Later i've sent him my bank details so that i could get at least some money back. Haven't received any refund from him.
