Glad this is all sorted but I don't understand the compact geometry story Rock mentioned

That's like me telling my skelm I have a 10" tottie... And then when she sees it I pipe up and say don't worry love, it's compact geometry.

 

Just a thought

1. i'm never going to read compact geometry the same ever again

2. i'm going to ask your Mrs about your geometry

^{AG *** MAN, what must I do with this lynch-mob I organized for tonight?}

Send them to NF to sort out this:

Use it, don't use it

Dear Dr Uys,

 

Thank you for clarifying to the group , I am glad we were able to sort out this issue and I'm sure we will all support you in trying to sell the bike for your son .I am sorry for the unpleasantness that has been experienced due to a cell phone technicality but hopefully we can all move passed this and all get what we eventually "me my dream bike and you a sale " Thanks to everyone for understanding that things can go wrong and there is good people out there who do the right thing .

Thank you for the apology. This was a small sample of how one can become lost in translation. Hats off to you for ending this drama gracefully. As soon as I receive the bike and your banking details, I shall transfer the full amount of R24 000 back to you. Sorry about your big disappointment.

Nice bike. In a medium. Should sell fast ya

This thread has been bitter sweet and it's surely a hub first. That said... There's been some cracker threads this year so far.

Moral of story, be aware of all the specification and post the correct information in any advert to avoid confusion and unnecessary issues which come from it.

That bike is my size I think... I have 3 bikes in the garage so far, another will cause a dispute at home and a dent in my bank account

[Joe Low]

I think Dr Ace should stick around on the Hub, she seems funny and sensible and we could do with more of that round here.

And if you're not careful, I'll also start cycling and Uys a race...

agreed but does that mean what the seller did is morally correct and above board? of course its not

 

i would urge the seller to take a hard look at himself and realise he f'ed up and needs to be accountable for his actions..simple!

Our records show the advert was edited yesterday at approx. 9pm. Unfortunately I can't say what was updated or changed as this isn't tracked, just the last update time. 

However, Google Cache confirms the sizing as per what the OP is saying (as at 5 Jan 2015).

Good care-taking, Admin

Nicely done.

Life lesson

 

Misunderstanding ----> missing conversation

 

(and Tinus, rather buy an Apple phone eksê)

[Maniax]

I know. (You should have pulled the buyer's leg(s) - then the size of this bike would not have mattered so much.)

Give this doctor a bells! Hahahahaha

Wanneer ek die Forum nagaan dan blyk dit dat Jarred gisteraand vir Tinus geskakel het en ingelig het van die probleem met die foutiewe groote van die fiets.  Jarred vermeld spesifiek dat hy teenoor Tinus aangebied het om die fiets aan Tinus terug te stuur en vir die koerier se kostes te betaal, maar dat Tinus geweier het.  Wanneer ek die konteks van Dr Uys se verduideliking nagaan het Tinus haar alleen vanmiddag geskakel en ingelig van die probleem.  Admin het bevestig dat die advertensie gisteraand om omgeveer 21h00 aangepas is en vanuit Google Cache blyk dit dat die verskil die grote van die raam is wat aangepas is.  Volgens Dr Uys het Tinus die wysiging aangebring omdat hy haar nie wou teleurstel nie en die fiets weer wou adverteer. 

 

Tinus het egter teen 21h00 gisteraand nog nie met Dr Uys in gesprek getree hieroor nie en was die teruggawe van die fiets gevolglik op daardie stadium glad nie ter sprake nie.   Jarred het tewens vanmiddag om 12h50 nog gehandel op ‘n basis wat genoop het dat hy vermeld het dat Tinus geweier het dat hy die fiets terugbesorg wat tot die inskrywing op die Forum aanleiding verleen het.

 

Vanuit die inskrywings op die forum blyk dit dus dat teen 21h00 gisteraand daar nie sprake was dat die fiets aan Jarred terugbesorg sou word nie.  Indien dit die geval is was daar teen 21h00 gisteraand geen sprake daarvan dat die fiets weer verkoop sou word wat noop dat die advertensie weer aktiveer en aangepas word nie.

U baie gesofistikeerde Afrikaans gaan n paer wenkbroue ongetwyfeld laat lig. Dit laat my baie nostalgies nadink oor die hele gebeurtenis. My menswees skud en my endokriene epidermiese proporsie word her-ranksik deur u inskrywing.

 

Byvoorbaat dank vir die pragtige diep denkende ongelfooflike maar ook ware opsomming van hierdie katarsis wat ons en meer spesifiek die koper en verkoper beleef het.

 

Mag hulle in vrede rus na die onnodigheid in ons midde.

 

Dankie Renburg.

Die Uwe
