You know when you get that 'hmmm I wonder...' Feeling. I checked and I have that guys number! I bought my bike from him.... Haven't seen anything else from him around but If it was like the bike I got.... Well don't.
I took that piece of crap to bits and rebuilt it 5 times until I gave in and checked it out with a mechanic. Turns out chain stay was 3mm out on one side, bottom bracket was bent to a ridiculous angle and was completely rusted inside and held with plastic cups. rear sprocket bent. And a dodgy looking weld fix on the top tube. In short I will never buy anything in the dark again!
P.s. I fixed it up and got it running smooth now... And it was a good learning exp.
Mate, when you came to buy the bike off me I stated there was a few problems with it. However you said it was no issue what so ever as you are "good" with bikes. First of all you took it for the smallest test ride I have ever seen and barely gave the bike a good look over, so do not come on here making out I am some sort of fucking con man. It was your own stupidity that landed you in that position. I said when you bought the bike If you have any problems give me a text or a call. Two weeks after you bought it I sent you a text to see how it was doing and in your words I quote "It's really good, had no problems at all. Thanks". When you bought the bike it was perfectly fine, I don't know what you have done with it since but it certainly wasn't that fucked when I sold it you!
Edit. "and rebuilt it 5 times" what an utter load of crap!
