PygaSchmyga Posted September 6, 2018 Share Seem like mr Joe has a bike shop....since he is advertising tyres "year end sale" and a few bikes? But he said he knows nothing about bikes? Surely he didn't tell a lie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted September 6, 2018 Share Different tires, specialized bar, syncros seatpost... I would rather pay more for NEW less.This here is the reason why I can't get myself to buy a second hand mountain bike. actually, that sounds a lot like a bunch of bikes have been stripped and put back together to not resemble their prevous form....

Popit Posted September 6, 2018 Share Sounds like the seller could have sorted this out quite easily . I also don't buy the "selling on behalf of a friend "story . You as the seller are STILL responsible if you don't offer the friends details .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he is scrupulous in checking the provenance of the stuff he buys or that he sells "on behalf of a friend"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet no one posts under their real names??? Something to hide do you??I'm not quite sure what the point is you're trying to make Willem/Wouter/Wimpie/Wagter."Maybe this deal went south". No "maybe" about it, it did."Everyone has something to say". Uhm, yes. It's a forum. That is kind of the point."Yet no one posts under their real names". Your point being? Not exactly forum feature pioneering."Something to hide do you?" Yes, plenty. Especially on an open forum where I don't know 90% of the people personally.

You can track most of us down via adds, instagram and other avenues if you so wish. If you have 'plenty to hide' then that's weird. I just have plenty I don't wish to share openly to anyone and everyone. There is a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooryder Posted September 6, 2018 Share I have tried on numerous occasions to get hold of the guy but with no luck. If it was my personal bike and if I was aware of what the buyer listed then I would either refund or give a portion to replace. however it was not my bike. No. Just. No. You're arguing like a secondhand car salesman (your business modus operandi, clearly...). Your sale, your responsibility. Just your indifference and nonchalance in resolving this matter should send you off to a place far away from good and decent people wanting to spend hard-earned money on proper deals. Sies man.

Where do you get all these bikes and parts to sell, you seem to have "many friends" you're selling for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathrix Posted September 6, 2018 Share From what I can see the feedback on his previous transactions is excellent,and there are a number of well known Hub names amongst them...until this oke comes along. Mr Funk sells bikes and parts for his many "friends" at a steal.. Many hubbers getting stuff at bargain prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge_Design Posted September 6, 2018 Share actually, that sounds a lot like a bunch of bikes have been stripped and put back together to not resemble their prevous form.... After comments like this, I have to ask - is this an original Cannondale paint job? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/288870-cannondale-scalpel-si-2017-frame/ I can't find a pic of a Scalpel SI with those exact lines and all of the green and black Scalpel's I've found have the green decals on the shock...

Main reason why I try not to use my real name on forums is if identity theft. Just by publishing his cell number I could in few minutes find out what his real name is, his email , where he lives, what he looks like, what events he likes to enter , what stuff he likes to buy. So , very quickly you have enough info to impersonate this person... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could possibly be that if the seller knows that something is not 100% (or even 60%) with a particular bike / item, then it is sold as "selling on behalf of a Buddy"...then it could be deflected away from him when the deal goes South...the other bikes / items that are OKAY and happy with the condition would be sold as normal...
