eBay problems, resolutions, shenanigans, questions and info (not bike finds)

no, I don't but as pictured the threaded section looks the same as sent. I think he's just bought it thinking it would fit and realised that he's still 15mm out as in his email asking to cancel he says

the description stated that the steerer tube was 19.5 cm long which would have exactly matched my vintage bike using a lower stack headset that I purchased to accompany this fork. However on attempting to fit these two, the fork steerer wouldn t even protrude beyond the bicycle frame let alone engage the headset. On measuring I found the steerer is actually less than 18.5cm long and does not fit my bike.

there's no way i'm that far out with the measurement, and if it's not even protruding from his head tube even with an extra 10mm it would be too short for any short stack headset. I think he's just a fucking chancer, but ebay being what it is...
