Would you all say the same if your sons daughters grandsons grandaughters, said i want to be a road racing cyclist.like Bradley or Mark.

i'm a motorist and a road cyclist and have many club friends who are to . agree some cyclists should'nt be on the road also some motorists should'nt be on the road .but to say ALL is very unfair. Cant comment on motorcyclists though.

That,s right you tar all cyclists with the same brush.

Thanks for the comments Hindsight is a wonderful thing . . Must have been lucky up to now not to get ripped off like this ,. Will get sorted one way or another though.

Hope she's ok and soon home with you .

Im not moaning i'.Just following up comments .

Had a few conversations with him today .still insists the engine was perfect as he stripped it down himself to make sure it was ok even say's he fitted new shells .and trying to say ive abused it .does not believe its been sat in my garage up till 2 weeks ago. so dont want to name names as yet.

It gets worse ,crack in cylinder head between inlet and exhaust valves no 1 cylinder not fully checked others ,30 thou gap in piston rings to cylinder bore, rear oil seal fitted wrong way around throwing oil into bellhousing ,pitting on cam lobes. spoke to seller yesterday still insists it was perfect when he rebuilt it .said he would get back to me last night but did'nt.

have tried contacting the seller norm1 .the reason i've not named them is to give the a chance to respond to me personaly

They know who they are if they want to respond. my fault for being so trusting just got to bite the bullet and move on.

If i find out bigbadsquare ill let you know. and thanks for the reply's all.

Before i knew the extent of the damage yes .but since the strip no, has not replied to my text.

Its a dont make the same mistake i made thing.

Bought a rebuilt 1700 crossflow off ebay buy it now that was being sold by a member on the forum (no names at the mo) recomend'ed by another member.(no names at the mo) Deposit by paypal cash on collection. Even agree'd after a week or so to cancel the transaction on the sellers request to save him ebay fees . Had engine fitted by a respected old school mechanic ,instead of fitting it myself ,mainly because he could set it up on his rolling road .Went to visit him just as he was starting it for the first time.Great it started and ran sweet for about 30 sec he then switched it off and told me it would be ready the following day which was last sat and i went away happy. Got a phone call an hour or so later .bad news it was running sweet balanced the carbs checking the timing and it just stopped ,put a spanner on crank bolt and it would not turn siezed solid. lifted it out and Dropped the sump to find two of the jurnalls and one main bone dry . Hand deeply in pocket now

Welcome,like that.

you have a pm
