I bought a Corima frame from a bloke in the US and when it arrived it was obvious that it had been front ended at some point.
I contacted the fella and he said: "Oh, has it? What do you want me to do about it?"
I asked him for a refund and explained that I'd been advised that it wasn't safe to ride. He refunded me for the frame but not the postage.
He didn't ask for the frame back, but he coughed my $800 fairly easily.
Was it a puma? Still got it?
It's a Cougar - the road version.
It's in storage at the moment and will probably end up being a wall dweller when I eventually move back and construct a man cave.
It could be made safe with a steel sheath, but there's no guarantee on the integrity of the crabon.
