Trying to sell it on eBay you probably haven't done yourself any favours.

more rat than slave in that guise

well, couple of minutes ago i got an email from ingria saying they've transferred half the money (250€) back to my paypal and now they want me to send the frame back. seems like they expect me to pay the shipping fees out of my own pocket as well.

this also means they want to keep the other 250€ plus the frame leaving me with nothing.

what. the. fuck. is wrong with these people?

putting it on ebay and fb market places before the whole deal is fixed and safe is simply stupid...... now you have to harvest what you ve grown

Now that's a seal of approval.

yeah, the guy said he would put in his best effort plus i'd get half the money back on top. i'm going to take them up on their offer, hoping i dont have to shell out cash on customs again for a gift. i'll stop the spam now but will update as soon as i get the new one.

Then you advertised the original frame on eBay for €400 that Ingria would either be letting you keep for FREE or asking you to return in exchange for a half price replacement, which sounds like a pretty fucking fair deal...

Then..

You're asking what is wrong with these people who, to be fair, have offered you a half price replacement frame?

You pm.

i posted the auction before they sent their measly refund, at that point i was sitting on a shitty frame that cost me a lot of money and i had heard nothing but empty promises from ingria for weeks.

are you seriously implying that trying to recoup my losses means i was asking for it? what would you have done?

Well, unless something changed from the first post I quoted here, then yes, attempting to sell the frame on eBay (that you were not happy with and wanted replacing) for €400, was pretty fucking dumb.

Seems Marc agrees.

Best Brooklyn for in a long time.

What's the name of this Colossi frame?

so now, im sitting on half the money i paid for a frame they now want back

i told them i'd be fine with keeping the old frame plus 50% refund

empty promises from a rookie manufacturer sitting thousands of miles away

so all is good......

keep the frame and spend the 250€ on repairing it.

spend 250e on beer, ask someone who knows about welds is it safe and just ride it or drink for your sorrow

What's the name of this Colossi frame?

Pretty sure it's a colossi al colossione, you can get it in many colors or so sites selling the frame say but they don't state the color options

I would definitely go factory 5 over colossi, looks the same, costs much less.

ok now i understand why y'all mad - few things i forgot to mention which might change your view:

after the initial euphoria subsided i passed on their offer for a new frame via email. i didn't get a new frame and i don't want a new frame, ingria knows this. i told them i'd be fine with keeping the old frame plus 50% refund because i was sick of the whole back and forth bullshit and wanted to put this issue to rest.

i put it on ebay (again, before i actually got the refund) for 100€ less than i had originally paid (minus shipping and customs) for it OR BEST OFFER, the auction price was deliberately set high enough to have some room for haggling, i was expecting a total loss of 50-150€, this is how selling stuff works.

the ebay auction ended without a sale, albeit with a shitload of spectators.

so now, im sitting on half the money i paid for a frame they now want back, they are intending to keep the other half PLUS the old frame PLUS the shipping fee they expect me to pay out of my own pocket as well. it also seems like they have already sold the old frame to someone else since they want me to send it to a private adress in finland.

in essence i paid ingria 250€ for nothing, which is pretty far from ok. hope that clears up the confusion.

so yeah: the fuck is wrong with them?

hope you told them to fuck off

Factory 5 F5100?

Yep, nice frames. F5 have a couple of other interesting frames as well.

Is the F5100 a re branded Colossi like I think the Superb Sprint, Heavy pedal Zephyr and goldsprint classic etc are?

Ha. That's mine. Looks very different to that now.

Yeah, at least all the geo's are the same.

Though I'm looking for a threadless fork, hopefully one of those manufactures can get me one haha.
