My son and I popped in there a few weeks back. Was the best service in a long time.Friendly chat , prices good ( yah , I know ). Have their own house brand. Did not buy anything , as we did not need anything.I hope I don't expose myself to legal charges , but after seeing this Mr A (? ) on CB , someone will have to hold me back from slapping him a few times.

 

Why? Because he stood up for himself and he's 100% correct? Or because the facts have been laid out and speaks for themselves? Or because you're a bully? All of the above?

 

Sorry, but your post reminds of those going after the public protector after she published the Nkandla report. Same mentality.

I must say that if I walk pass the shop I would be inclined to pop in as well. There is probably some "freakshow" value.

Not a bully.

 

It starts with a P, ends with an S and rhymes with cough.

Before they gained notoriety over selling fake bikes, they had helped me out one Sunday when I stuffed up my rear mech. I could not find my desired rear mech anywhere locally at the time of day. The chaps took one off a shop floor bike and sold it to me so as to continue my ride. Was super impressed...........and then came this whole chinarello deal.

Despite the good service I received previously, I too no longer support them, having bought three bikes elswhere, subsequent to this story breaking. Not that I would have single handedly kept them in business anyway, but I am with the hubbers who prefer to stay away.

 

Good Luck Andrew.

Just an update on the Cycle Science saga, I laid a criminal case, however the Randburg prosecutor declined to prosecute as they deemed it a civil matter.

 

I issued a civil summons for my money back only for Cycle Science to issue an action to defend. In Cycle Science’s response, they said:

· I asked for a Chinese manufactured bicycle

· The fake bike was assembled by J & J Wholesalers

· Cycle Science is claiming damages from me of R450,856 for loss of earnings owing to saying I purchased a fake bike on Carte Blanche and Cycle Hub (sic)

 

I responded that I did appear on Carte Blanche but they must prove that the statements I made were ‘misrepresentations’, especially as Cycle Science itself admitted on Carte Blanche to selling fake products. Finally we asked how did they come by the fact that I was responsible for the R450,856 in damages.

 

They have until today to respond, thereafter I will request a trial date from the court.

 

The wheels of justice turn slowly but they turn…

 

Why have J&J Wholesalers been implicated in this story now?

Because Cycle Science are playing the it's everybody's fault but ours card. They could have resolved this all a long time ago.
