I'd be interested to see this go to court, given that some of his bikes were illegal on many levels (sold without adequate reflectors, bells, etc).
If he wants to be a dick, phone trading standards and get them to assess the legality of the bikes he's selling. Oh, and as he's trading and has been for a while, anyone want to phone HM Revenue & Customs to check whether he's registered the business with them? He's probably going to face a couple of hundred in penalties (not to mention unpaid tax, with interest) if he's not.
Sorry to say this but it isn't against the law to sell bikes without reflectors bells etc. It's only against the law if you say they adhere to british standards.
