For Sale: Cannondale System Six/Sram Red

If you are going to nerg him at least explain why?

Please excuse my ignorance but OP and nerged are lost on me?!

Original Poster (OP)

Nerging is just them giving you a negative comment (tab beneath your name) you've obviously done something to piss them off or this sale to xDomx has gone south?

That's for the explanation Buckaroo.

Issue has arisen with ParcelForce and shipping.

Did Apollo buy this then?

xDOMx bought it.

He is small. This bike is wayy to big for him. Unless he has put a chode of a stem on it

Nice bike though

^^ so why is he neg repping you?

I'd better clear it up with the buyer before I comment gents.

I agree with Daz A. Best to attempt to sort it out between us.

In addition, I have an oddly long torso so the bike is better as a 56 with a 90/100 than a 54. Tried the same geometries before making the decision.

I'd say 5'9" or 5'10" is fairly normal as opposed to short but it's subjective I suppose.

Should it happen that a groupset ends up floating around.
I'll take it..
Just saying.

(hope it all gets resolved).

I am looking to gauge a view as to how reasonable I am or am not being and would appreciate people's views.

Does the attached video look like, and I quote directly from Daz A, "Outside of the repaired wheel their isn't any other damage at all. The wheel is slighly out of true but isn't dangerous in the slightest. I had it proffesionally repaired as they are a great pair of very light wheels. As you can see I have bike OCD and like to keep everything very clean!!"

I'd appreciate people's views.

Maybe the description provided is questionable,

The wheel doesn't look in great shape.

That groupset and frame for £1250 is a bargain, still.

Rep for chutzpah.

Riding over speed bumps permanently? no thanks

That wheel is obviously completely fucked and the same goes for the amount of wear in the chain... Bike OCD? Yeah right...

Very dishonest and misleading advertisement. Seller should do the decent thing and reimburse xDomx for the cost of replacing the wheel at the very least.

Otherwise very poor form indeed

And that video is why I nerged OP.

I agree with Andy, very misleading ad, but hope that it all gets sorted out for Dom's sake (and also the sake of Daz's reputation on the forum).

The description appears deliberately misleading rather than a mistake. Dom you also neglected to mention that the drivetrain is very worn, so new chain, cassette (and possibly chainrings) are all needed. Regardless of whether it's still a bargain, the OP should honour a return and refund.

I think before we label the seller we should hear what he has to say about it.

Believe it or not but sometimes genuine mistakes are made. It's not the problem that's the problem, it's how it get sorted.

I've heard the replies from the seller, so I stand by the above. Dom resisted posting on here whilst he tried to reach an agreement with the OP.

Particularly when the seller contributes to the forum as much as Daz A

Then there is no problem here at all if he's sorting it?

But there is a problem if he doesn't sort it... Both for him and Dom

I am eager to glean the seller's views and have asked for them.

I gave the benefit of the doubt for a long time before posting this.

I am aware he has sold and contributed before but unfortunately this is seemingly a different situation.

What the fuck are all you helmets getting involved for?

Why do 4 people feel the need to 'nerg' DazA?

What could have been handled reasonably and like adults between the two involved - has descended into a few chimps chucking shit about. its pretty pathetic.
