Cat2forLife Posted April 24, 2018 Share My guess is Admin reached out and asked not to publicly divulge any further information while they investigate. Fair enough. I'll wait for their info then. karma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASSIE1975 Posted April 24, 2018 Share My guess is Admin reached out and asked not to publicly divulge any further information while they investigate. That would also be my guess and I would think the best way forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted April 24, 2018 Share I am not arguing that it is illegal. I am merely saying that if it blows up in your face, because you were looking for a lekker deal, you only have yourself to blame. As the saying goes: you can't cheat an honest man... but... if it's a boutique frameset at a boutique price, who's to suspect anything... it's the 'almost too good to be true' things that are obvious trouble. If it's a truly good counterfeit, would you suspect anything? karma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apeman2 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Hi Guys The purpose of my post was to warn other Hubbers and not to start a discussion of who is right and who is wrong. He sold a complete bike on the Hub and my friend asked me to go look at the bike as it's in my area. It was a very nice bike and my friend bought it. Peter seemed like a very nice guy and told me he is a rep that supplies bicycle parts to shops. He told me he can get me a frame as a favor from a friend or some crap. I told him that I don't want a replica or fake frame and he told me it's the real thing. He told me it will come with a certificate and serial number.At the end of the day it was all lies. It's a Chinese fake. I was stupid to buy it and I made a mistake. I will not use the frame and I will write off the money that I lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have this in writing, that he claimed it to be real, I am sure you can open a case against him. You give up way too easy my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
