Cassie Posted April 21, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolipoli Posted April 21, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
