This deal aside, I am pretty sure we all know hilary as a fine person who has passion for bikes. Think about the nice deals that many had got in the past from him and also for the fact that he is the Tesco of bikes. He travels the country and even cross the pond IIRC to get his stock which comes out of his pocket. Is he to turn a blind eye to a bargain while many of us had benefited from him in the past? Reeks of double standard here. The man needs to make a living and if you have ever been in a proper buying-selling business, you will know that margin fluctuates, dead stock just sits collecting dust and you practically live deal to deal. He's no jonnyrau, that I can attest to, he contributes to this forum and have benefited many of us and I believe will continue to to so. Just google him up, when he ceased trading on fleBay, bloody Americans were asking where he went!
