Spikenipple Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hey all,A deal is currently underway between me and Nicky. I've sent him a cheque for £120 for a DK bike, which he's received.He stated last week that he'll send the bike as soon as he got the cheque. On the day he told me he got the cheque, I asked if he'd sent it and he said no. He said he was waiting for his Koxx frame to arrive. This arrived this Monday (19th). When I asked Nicky if he'd got anywhere closer to sending the bike, he told me that he's been busy over the past few weeks and will send it as soon as possible, but with no guarantee of a date that he'd have sent it by.It's now Wednesday, and Nicky's not taken any steps towards sending me the bike. He told me on MSN today that he wants me to come and pick the bike up, or meet him halfway. This isn't particularly practical as he lives in Nottingham, which is some 200 miles away from me in Trowbridge.Nicky's tried to present alternatives to posting it such as me buying a train ticket and meeting him at his train station and going back with the bike, or me driving up to get it, which is completely unacceptable, as Nicky's not even given me a reason why he's apprehensive to post the bike, and I have asked him on more than one occasion.At the point in the conversation on MSN where Nicky wanted to ring me, he asked for my number and when I explained to ring my mobile phone, he stopped talking. He's been active on the forum since he stopped talking, and he's now either offline from MSN or he's blocked me.If anyone can either talk to him themselves or PM me his phone number, i'd appreciate it very much.Cheers,Mike.

Rob_P Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nicky- I wouldn't say that it's easier or faster getting the person thats buying your bike to get himself on the train to come and pick it up, as when selling something postage is always the sellers responsibility, no matter how much it may cost. You should of thought of that when you decided on a sale price. For example if you wanted £100 for the bike, you may of added £20 to cover postage. Your not making any profit by adding the extra, you can just say includes postage too.When I sold you my BT frame and backwheel for £150 (which I thought wasnt bad at all) I had to fork out £30 for postage!!!!! I didn't turn round and say noooo way, Nicky can come from Nottingham to come get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand robbie,It's just that hes making such a big deal out of it via this topic and on msn.Msn has logged me in now and he isnt on.Basically there was no point of making this topic as it will eventually get closed.

Spikenipple Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Also mate I have no box for the bike and just imagine how much it's gonna cost for the bike to be posted as it is steel.To be honest mate this isn't my problem.I've even told you on MSN how to get a box from a local shop or elsewhere.I don't care how much it's going to cost you to post it, as you agreed the price of £120 posted.I apologise about the MSN screwing up earlier, it has been temperamental for me too recently so I do apologise for that.I'll PM you my mobile number mate.

Spikenipple Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well.I'm under the impression that this is now sorted out, and i've been told that the bike WILL be sent tomorrow, as the cheque has been cancelled and the money has been paypalled directly because of a bit of a mess up with the cheque.If I don't get an invoice number tomorrow, I won't be a happy bunny, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikenipple Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Well. After Parcel Farce f**king up for a few weeks, the bike finally arrived here (on Wednesday).It's a nice bike, everything's in fair condition, other than the two things that Nicky failed to mention. The cable adjuster on the left hand brake lever is f**ked, like bent and the thread is stripped, which means the adjuster wiggles about and the feel of the brake is absolute wank. The brake's still useable, so let's move onto the next and more major thing...The right hand side crank arm is f**ked where the pedal screws in. It was a bit dodgy when I first rode it, as there's a gap between the bit of the axle where you put the spanner on and the crank arm itself, which produces the effect of making it feel really weird when pedalled. On the ride home this morning from a friend's house, I noticed the wiggling of the pedal getting progressively worse until about halfway home the pedal simply....fell off. The pedal itself is fine, although the thread is covered in a paste made of metal shards and GT85..Upon inspection, the inside of the crank arm where the pedal screws in has absolutely no thread left in it, completely. It's just mashed up bits of metal and angled lines where the pedal was obviously screwed in at a funny angle, causing this problem.Now these problems with the bike itself are of course solveable, but the thing that's pissed me off the most is that Nicky didn't even MENTION these problems when negotiating a deal with me for the bike. Due to the pedal problem, the bike is now un-rideable until a new crank arm is sourced, which of course I hope Nicky will be doing...I'll be having words with Nicky when he comes online a bit later, but I decided to post this here now because instead of typing this all up later i'll just point Nicky to this post.*sigh* Edited July 7, 2006 by Spikenipple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
