A random thought: did anyone check whether CS is open today?

Its like me asking a buddy coming from the States to bring me a few iphones with, Its sidestepping the usual distribution channels because I want my product cheaper. Its the genuine article though.

You will be crucified....

The reverse applies as well. If there's an admission of guilt, there should be a refund.

Andrew, any news regarding a refund?

The guys at CS are arrogant enough to do that!

Hahahaha

They are definitely guilty of supplying customers with fake frames and parts, so much has been established (even in their letter and conversations with OP they didn't deny it). What we are unsure of is how deep the rabbit hole goes....

Fantastic! Please keep is posted. All the best with the Ironman!

Seeing that CS might be running closing specials soon, it might be worth a look...just check the serial number (you never know)...

Silverback. Better components and quality at the same price range as GT imo

BAM BAM! My thoughts zicackly!!! Edit: spelling. Its late....

I doubt it.... Maybe Chris Froome would, but non-pro's weekend warriors wont. IMO

Who ever really checks the invoice immediately? 20/20 hindsight. If it was me at that moment I'd be more interested in taking new bike home and riding it, rather than scrutinizing every part of the invoice... So I'll merrily and blissfully stuff the receipt in my back pocket and take my bike home. It might be that one of the bike shop dudes are running an underground scam, but surely this cannot go unnoticed as a pino is assembled and transported through the shop. These guys are dirty plain and simple.

That guy's photos must be redonculous!!!!!

Damn!!!!

Good luck over there.....

You did what?????? Havent you heard the saying, "mense kom van die Oosrand af, hulle gaan nie soontoe nie"?

Strength to the family. May God comfort you in your time of need. RIP Edit: spelling

This blog post, I think, sheds proper light on the subject.... http://www.bicycling.co.za/blogs/olis-epic-blog-ride-every-stage-like-last/

Yep, I'll definitely go for that!

Rediculously awesome!!!!

You had to go there? Ouch

You recon if we keep this thread alive till tomorrow that it could be seen as a Friday thread?

I picked up my road bike for 2k here on the hub. A very decent Silverback Arizona. It was my first road bike. I have put almost 3000 km's on it since i bought it about 10months ago. I love it. My point, you dont need a super bike to start with. Get something decent and take it from there..
