Olmo steel racing bike 54cm – £220, Fuji Feather 52cm (parts) – £60

Hi,

Let me make clear a few points as people have been commenting on the sale of the two bikes I put on the forum.

1. @velocio The dispute is not related to the Fuji bike. Still in respond to your comment, I never said in the post that the Fuji frame was "little bend", I said the frame was bend. Furthermore, I never intended to sell the Fuji as a road safe bike. If you have read my post accurately, I specifically and explicitly stated the bike was "For people who want the parts for restore project." If after having read this statement and someone still decided to buy and ride the bike without any restoration work, I can't be the person to take responsibility. Also, the condition of the bike was reflected in the price, if it was in perfect condition it would not have been sold for a merely £50/£60. I do not believe I have broken any forum rule as I did not misled anyone into buying the bikes, I have clearly provided high resolution photos and other information requested of the bikes for potential buyers.
   
2. @Larkin I never assured you that the frame was not cracked. I was not a bike professional and I would not be in a position to comment on the status of the bike. What I have done was included a number of High Resolution photos of the bike for you to make the right decision yourself. I told you that "I think it is a scratch?". You have all the photos of the bike as everyone else on the forum. You also had access to inspect the bike before you made the conscious decision to buy the bike. I never forced you to enter into the trade nor provided you with any misleading information. I didn't at any stage withheld any information regarding the condition of the bike to my best knowledge. You even selectively disclosed information on the forum to other users, after I mentioned that I think the frame was not cracked, I did sent you another photo of the bike for you to make the decision.
   
3. @Larkin With regards to the communication of the refund, I was out of the country on business and I needed to check when I could meet when I'm back in the country. I am not obliged to respond to your bombardment of messages 24/7. You made an educated and conscious decision on the purchase of the bike in light of information provided and comments from others on the forum, which you now regret. As a gesture of good will I did agreed to provide you with a refund even though there were no wrong doing from my part. There is no need to threaten me with words or actions, as evidenced in a screenshot of our conversation below, where you threatened me with my work and a ban on the forum. On that basis, as a result of your wrongful and untruthful accusation as well as your unnecessary threat I have decided against the refund. I should not be responsible for your decision which you now regret, you had access to informations and photos and you checked the bike before you bought it.
