• ah too bad bro alrd see the pict, i dont think is the wheels thats not true. maybe you can check for the frame alignment using a special alignment tools on ur local bike shop. owned a super sprint frame that seems not center (the distance from the left chain stay to the rear wheels is closer than from the right chain stay, but if you see the wheels from the seat tube pov it is alrd center), and after an alignment check everything is good and center including the wheels so its just a factory defect where the left chain stay is welded slightly out of position. turns out my friend who owned a tsunami frames (2 people) had the exact same problem. so yeah even tho it is factory made but a defect is still possible.

  • the frame has been crashed or dropped in storage, it has a slightly twisted rear drop out.
    I have another frame that is out of centre from factory and you can see that it is in fact quality control issues with welding.
    There isn't any other signs of defect other than the twisted drop outs. check out the link thread I pasted, the drop outs were disc sanded and rattle canned orange. Could this be evidence that it has tried to be fixed after a crash? who knows...

    either way its not good selling items that are damaged and not inspected.

    for example
    You could have a nice Thomson stem you havent used for years and innocently put it up for sale at 40£ posted. One face plate bolt could be cross threaded because you forgot. Its not nice for the buyer .....
    Just check n inspect thats all im saying.

  • ah yeah zooming the pict u send earlier i cud see the welding on the dropout is a little odd/untidy, like theres a lump on it. but not sure not judging just saying what i saw on the photos.
    totally agree with seller being 100% sure about their own stuff. hopefully you can sort it out with the seller bro. cheers
