Yep, and imagine how the guy that he bought it from originally (**vive_le_velo on the trackdropouts forum) **will feel. In my opinion, most sellers like to ensure that their buyers 'get a good deal'; thus ensuring a 'win win' situation.
It was advertised at £135 ono - he probably got it for less than that. All of a sudden it is 'too big' and he doesn't like the riding position; oh yes, the price has doubled - more than adequate compensation.
What I find amazing (surely I can't be the only one ? ), is the sheer brazen behaviour of jonnyrau. Multiple usernames, deception and lies, lies, lies. Is he desperate for money to help pay for treatment for his poor cancer-ridden brother/sickly mother etc., etc ?
If he sees this forum as a money-making opportunity, well I can understand that; he wouldn't be the first one. What I find annoying, is that he really believes that the members of this forum are stupid; he thinks that his 'stories' and deceptions are believable.
Sadly, I have to question the intelligence of some on this forum - those who have any dealings with jonnyrau (or one of his multiple guises); can they really trust and believe anything that he tells them ?
Surely, trust & belief are the primary factors in undertaking any transaction ?
