Broken Frame

[GreyOwl]

Advice please... I bought a very exotic carbon fibre frameset from a "Hubber" on monday, and when I took it to my local bike shop yesterday they refused to work on the frame because it is cracked. I contacted the seller, and explained the situation... and the seller said they would refund me my money but I would have to wait until they had been paid. (Fair enough) But an hour after the conversation I was sent an SMS by the seller with the number of the other person that was interested in the Frameset, and told "I hope you come right with this"

 

What should I do?

That is just not on. Try again to get a possitive response. If not, name him so that the rest can know not to buy anything from him.

Jip, dis nie nice nie, gee vir hom sy frame terug! Watse frame is dit?

[Spinnekop]

Seker 'n Cervelo.

[GreyOwl]

Its not a Cervelo!!! I wont name the frame unless its absolutely necessary.

only frame for sale lately was the fuji, was it that one?

Ek dink die regte ding om te doen is dat die verkoper die raam terugneem en jou geld terug gee.

 

 

 

Hy kan dit dan aan die ander persoon verkoop maar die kraak uitwys terwyl hulle onderhandel.

 

 

 

As die ander ou nogsteeds dit wil koop (met die wete van die kraak) sal dit reg wees

 

 

 

en ek stem, die raam naam het niks hiermee te doen.

 

 

 

Probeer eers dit met die verkoper uit te sort, voor hy hard gebak word en jy sit met die probleem.

 

 

 

Kom ons los dit hier en gee die verkoper kans om reg te maak, as hy dan weier, dan kan julle home blame and shame.popeye2007-12-05 00:54:05

He said exotic.

[GreyOwl]

Nope...not Fuji. I promise I will name it. I just want to try reconcile this first. Really just want the opinion of the Majority as to what to do...

What about that Specialized Tarmac Pro.

I'm confused....this guy f..... you over by selling you a cracked frame and now you are debating whether you should "name and shame" him.

[Thug]

The bottom line is that the Seller was not 100% honest in not pointing out the crack initially, unless of course he/she was totally unaware.

 

If the Seller refuses to refund your money in exchange for the frame, then name and shame. Until that point, don't mention either the make of frame or the sellers name.

 

 

[Spinnekop]

Ai ou Popeye.....ek het net my ou naamgenoot bietjie gebyt orrdat hy 'n Cervelo ry en al 2 rame gekraak het!!

 

So ek is nie gepla oor die raam naam nie.

 

GreyOwl.

Phone the guy.  Sort it out!  If the guy is unwilling to negotiate, name and shame so that your fellow Hubbers know who is not honest in their dealings.

I know...I'm trying to be nice here. I'm giving the seller the benefit of the doubt here, as they claim they did not know about the crack. I just tried to contact the person, but it went to voice mail...

If the seller does not pay you back in a reasonable time then name and shame him. The seller will probably plead ignorance about the crack. It is only fair that he pays you back in full, maybe he can then claim warrantee or from his insurance.

You must definately advise the frame brand though.

I would just love to know what could be classified as "very exotic"!!!!!
