The story is he accepted that it was fucked, took it back on that basis, said he wouldn't sell it again as it was, but is now attempting to palm it off on someone else who'll have to spend £60 at least to make it usable - with no returns.
@ d_c - I know about rotafixing (used to be a bike mechanic, a long time ago!) but didn't want to risk stripping the threads on a bike I was pretty sure I was going to have to send back. Chainwhipped it (though just forward pedalling probably exerts as much torque) but personally I'd never ride fixed without a lockring, or a shit-load of glue on an old hub!
