[SIZE=2]Me: Hello. I'd just like to inform you that the bike for sale has clearly had a serious head on crash. The forks should not be that shape! The bike is unsafe and should not be ridden.
Regards

HiThanks for pointing the bent forks out. Fortunately for me, I'd only put the bike on 12 hours beforehand. I've taken it straight off Ebay.
Annoyingly, that will have come since I've had it. When I got it, it was as if it had hardly ever been ridden and in perfect nick! I did grab the bike midway through re-cabling it to run a quick errand. I didn't realise the brakes weren't finished until I tried to brake and went head-on into a barrier gate at the bottom of the alley where I work. I checked the wheel was still running true, for scratches on the paintwork and the bike still rode with no issues. Obviously I missed the(what now seems glaringly obvious!) forks.
I've taken the bike off immediately from Ebay to have a good look and sort it out before looking to put it back on.
I have been running my workshop here for nearly three years now and have never any comeback from any of the (+/-) hundred bikes I have sold. Even on Ebay, most of my customers are local and I offer a free check-up and money back guarantee if there are any major issues with anything I've sold. Selling 2nd hand bikes is a business laden with potential pitfalls that up until now have managed to avoid. I think have managed to build up a decent reputation in the process.
Thank you for taking the time to point out the issue. It is much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Well it's good that his taken it off of eBay....

Every bike we sell is thoroughly checked....
We try and do the best job possible.....
FAIL! Even if it hadn't been head on with a bus £400 would certainly be an optimistic price.

5. Shimano Uniglide hub on Wolber Alpine rims £15
Bit rough this set but salvageable. The cassette needs removing and a soak in oil or replacing with a new one (I'd fit a 7 speed Hyperglide myself). The rims are quite a nice grey but the eyelets are rusty now. Will be fine with some work.SINGLE WHEELS
