eBay and Craigslist finds

I've written to him as follows:

"This bike HAS been seriously crashed as is evident from the bent top tube and down tube and the almost upright forks. If you sell this to an unsuspecting buyer you will have mis-represented it as "Thia bike newer has exident or serious crash-is full working condition!" by which I believe you mean to say that "This bike has never had an accident or serious crash and is in full working condition", which is plainly incorrect. You could also be responsible for an accident, injury or even death. You should withdraw this listing as this bike frame is not safe to be ridden on. I expect this listing to be withdrawn by the end of today and I expect it not to reappear again."

Let's keep up the pressure.

+1 - I reminded him of his liability under SOGA too.

I also pointed out how he might feel if someone he knew had an accident as a result of a bust bike!

I have his name and address......

His e-mail address is Polish so that might explain his creative use of English.
