Public Apology

Evening

 

I feel massively obligated to do this as I've never felt so embarrased before. I advertised my Merida Team D Carbon frame for a really good price. This evening Eon from Potchestroom drove all the way to my place (Fourways) and after careful inspection, low and behold we found a hair line fracture.

 

What an absolute disappointment. I felt like a first prize chop. Eon, I sincerely apologise for this, especially the fact that you drove so far. I'm lookig for petrol and matches at the moment.

[Cav']

Rather you post something before he does.

 

You had about 3 hours id say before he's back home in Potch.

[E-man]

Merida have a 5 year warranty on their frames, you just need the proof of purchase . . .

[Joe Low]

Well just give him the petrol and save the matches for another time.

 

Sounds like a "no-fault-****-happens" kinda situation, nice that you feel responsible but dont overdo it.

[DR ◣◢]

Make up for it and get the frame replaced. Then offer to take the bike to him or at the very least meet halfway?

What is a "hair line" fracture???

 

Are you sure it's not just the clear coat? Carbon doesn't "hair line" - it's either a crack or it's not.

You should feel ashamed, and should offer to take his girlfriend out for dinner...at least.

Yup. check this again. I thought the same thing had happened to me hitting a pothole on my old trek carbon USPS replica. Turns out it was the vinyl that split and when I removed this and checked the frame properly there was nothing wrong with it at all. Put new vinyl on a rode it for another 3 years as a road bike and currently busy turning it into a commuter or fixie....

So is the Merida still for sale? I am meeting a "brand new hubber" at the airport today to lay down a fair amount of cash for a carbon hardtail...imagine if that thing has problems on it, where is he going to leave it, because he is on his way overseas? Or maybe he is just popping in to the airport from Boksburg to mo*r me and take my cash :/
