Cassie Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Some hubber stated last time he knows Niel and that he is a good guy, can't recall the nickname Could be me....I once paid a Neil chap (I think it is the same dude mentioned here...)R1000 -00 to keep first dibs on a bike for me....He let me have it for a day while I checked out the state of the machine...then after consultation with a LBS i decided not to buy it. Neil paid me back cash - and no quabbles! He came across a a very nice guy. At that stage (2+years ago) he still operated from his garage in Newlands area. I see he has upgraded now? He had a massive amount of bikes in his garage and was fixing /swopping etc components all the time...come to think of it...now I'll be a bit more suspicious of this guy but apart from that - a stand-up guy,based on my exoperience with him. But on the ather hand, this does not necessary make him an honest dealer either! my 2c
MariusL Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Just a thought, also based on experience... most crooks come across as really nice guys

The Drongo Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Exactly, this seems to only point to one thing for me. Wassat? No more Mr Nice Guy?
nolipoli Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I searched Gumtree for "Neilswheels" and come up with 13 used bikes and one new one. Maybe a notice to all hubbers to go and check them out and try to identify stolen bikes. If Neilswheels has nothing to hide, they will leave the adverts up there. If they suddenly remove the adverts, then it kind of confirms that they are stolen.
Caerus Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Wassat? No more Mr Nice Guy? Mr Nice Guy on a mission
