RIP Bud. Sorry to hear this.

Sorry Admin. I do not want to start this whole lynch mob all over again and I'm apologizing in advance. You can close this topic straight away. I just wanted to say one more thing. I in no way threatened this kid. I sent the mom a sms saying that the way I see it she can either let me rightfully collect what I have paid for or I can press charges against him for theft. As another hubber said, I'm in Cape Town and he is in Pta so where exactly did I threaten him in school. I have since this whole thread started up like Wildfire, got confirmation that the bike was sold to someone else after they had my money and prior to the initial phone call this morning for a higher price. So I have requested my cash back and just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to all the Hubbers that stood together and gave this woman hell on my behalf. I will definitely give him a negative rating and request since he is "Under Age" that his IP Address be monitored and Profile removed so that the rest of us decent people who legitimately buy and sell on the Hub don't get burnt by this Laaitjie again. Rant Over. Thanks for the Support Guys

R1000 with a big dent on the Top Tube

Because I was buying the bike to break up and use parts for a fixie I am building. All the spare parts that I did'nt use were going to a another bike I was going to give to a friend who cant afford a bike but wants to build himself a cheapie. It was going to save me money and a heck load of time to go and find all the individual parts

Just a Whatsapp pic of a guy who looks like he is in his 20's

I sent his mom a message saying that I will arrange a collection at my cost or lay a charge against him. She kakked me out and told me not to threaten her. She said that I went into a deal knowing he was a minor. I did not know this. Nowhere on his Hub profile or on his Whatsapp does it give his age. Feeling properly shafted here.

They wont even let me arrange my own courier to get it to Cpt

I've just had a word with the guys mom. He is under 21 but not far off. She is throwing it in my face that she didn't give him permission but in speaking to his Aunt who owns the courier company as well as a Whatsapp message from him (saying that someone did offer more for the bike) I know they have found a buyer who has agreed to pay more. My gripe is that all of this has happened after it was negotiated and paid for. They will not even allow me to arrange my own courier. Is this grounds for theft if I have paid and they will not send (regardless of his age). Thanks Guys Oh, and the advert link is https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/76772-urgent-sale-axis-road-bike/

Hi fellow Hubbers I'm reaching out to all my fellow hubbers as a newbie who has only used this site a few times for some help. I purchased a bike advertised a week or so ago, I have a whole string of Whatsapp messages liaison between myself and the buyer detailing price, terms etc. I have paid for the bike and have sent proof of payment and received a confirmation from him that he received it and was awaiting the couriers to send the bike down to Cape Town as discussed in my messages with him. Now an angry family member has stepped in and wants to transfer my money back to me because they feel he has been taken advantage of and can get more for the bike.......after my payment has gone through. The original plan was for this family member to help out with the courier to Cape Town (since they owned or worked for a courier company) but will not even give me the opportunity to arrange my own courier at my cost now ??????? Please guys, give me some info here, and if the Hub administrators could step in here and give me their 10 cents worth, that would be great. Had I not paid and organised all of this, it would have been a different story but since this is a paid and Done deal in my eyes I don't want to let this go. Thanks Wayne

Bring it to CPT next and I'm in

DLZ by Tv on the Radio caught my attention on my Ipod this morning.

I totally got jooked. I did my first Argus last year and finished around 4:25 because I got both a rear wheel and front wheel puncture (Training partner that was weaker than me got 3:50). All my regular training partners got Q's and X's and I got YY. I get that my finishing time wasnt that great but someone else that was 15 minutes faster than me got a single digit number and hasnt ridden any seeded events since the last Argus. Does this sound right as Im not too amped to start at 9:05 with all the MTbs. I have emailed them and am hoping for a reply.

Selle Italia SLR. Had a Arione on my old bike. Good saddle but I still prefer the Sella.
