Ask a mate to go check it out for you...

Have a chat to the owner, if he knows his bike is a sure thing, then maybe do a 50% transfer? and if you don't want it send it back.

 

I always like to chat by cell to the owner if he live in another province before I buy a frame or full bike, It helps to get a feel for the guy if he is willing to chat and wwork out whats works for you both...

 

TRUST! Its hard, but sometimes it works.

 

I have bought 3 bikes and over the hub, and all 3 times I never had a problem.
