This was the response: Yes, I am really interested in buying this as a surprise for my cousin, only if you can assure me that everything is in order. I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore, I want this to be a surprise for my cousin, so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him. It will be a secure payment via Skrill as I'm on a rig offshore. So, let me know if you have an account with Skrill so I can arrange for the payment asap. Please note, a pickup agent will be coming for the pickup once I have made the payment. SCAMMER

Received this text from a Nigerian cell nr “ I am interested in the bike. Please get back to me via email at smitc12@yahoo.com looking forward to your response” Red flags: I’m not selling a bike, sending a Whatsapp and asking for email response, erm...foreign number... Bikehub user Colinv, also new

I was actually very surprised to receive this response to a gumtree ad yesterday. Thought this scam died 20 years ago but obviously must be working! "I am really interested in buying this as a surprise for my cousin, only if you can assure me that everything is in order.

I’ve just realized the brakes I recently bought also came in a plastic bag. Not in a box as evident from those annoying Youtube “unboxing” videos. So also off an OEM bike? I don’t really mind. They work perfectly fine. Price was very good. But some disclosure in this regard might be appropriate for people for whom this might be an issue. Otherwise I really cant fault CWCs service.

I'm considering this - if anyone spots any BLACK FRIDAY deals on I9's, please give me a shout!

This a Hope Pro 4? I would like to increase the engagement on mine. Didn’t know it was possible?

VPS should also do fine. I assume you had to strip down the bike down to the frame yourself?

Great product. Well worth the money

Even though I never aero tuck, there is no way I want a frame with this weakness. This is a clear design flaw from Canyon

Luckily he was ok after that fall. But that river is so SIF he's going to have an upset stomach for a while!

You are lucky - that old guy on the ebike fell in the river at the bridge just after that big drop off!!

Ah. Interesting. Learnt something new. Will it improve my 2x11?

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is the point of this? And why does it kick butt?
