I'm guessing that Luqies who started the thread and said he would just sell it on is Luqman who posted the fb advert..

i tried. i knew the guy...he said he didnt know about it i didnt even see it until the cloth i used got stuck in the paint when washing the bike...anyway told him ill sell it as is and if i dont get my cost price then he can pay me the difference...now I got offers that are short of the full price...and he says he battling financially thats why he selling his stuff bla bla bla...im on my own on this one...the risks of buying used i guess. Using it on my trainer for now and its very nice tho, pity about the crack.

CPA protects second hand buyers as well.. but I’m not sure how you’ll prove he knew about the crack.. 🤷🏼‍♂️ sorry man.!

Ok cool. 

 

Looking at the bike I would rather ask for my money back.

Contact CBR (Carbon Bike Repairs Durbanville), get a quote for a repair.

 

At least then you know what it would cost, and can weigh up your options.

 

Any other 2nd hand bike comes with its bag of unknowns ....

 

 

 

And what price do you expect to get for a cracked carbon frame ..... repairing it may be the best way forward.

 

I have personal experience with carbon repairs by CBR. They are top notch.

I have seen seat stays broken through completely, were repaired by CBR, and still held up 4 years post repair(not my bike).

Do not write carbon repairs off before checking with James Perry.

I would ride a repaired carbon frame before doing so a repaired alu frame.

Best of luck
