Yup. On and Offroad fun. I plan to set it up as a "Bob" bike for commuting. Moustache bars, Brooks, rack, etc. Retro-Future Grouch.:D
The Gimp was crushed, so it's more like crutons than toast...:( I wanted a work bike and a play bike, but now I'm back down to one.:o

Barends are the bees knees. I'm taking of the stickers, cleaning the frame, putting on fat tires and searching for a box-shaped rear bag with leather straps for the rear rack. I HATE those new fangled cooler boxes everyone sells now, so I'm trolling the Ebay, looking for vintage luggage. I want something between a steamer trunk and a Ghurka bag.

Hey dipper, your gunna buy those frames off me when sbw actually lets me come and get them still right?
I don't think he should have to pay a cent for frames that I'm giving to YOU, FREE!! Why don't you give it to him no charge since I'm giving it to YOU no charge? He already has to pay shipping. It just doesn't seem right for you to make money off of me traveling 40 minutes to pick up frames that my friend offered to me. I'm the one that went and got them. Friends don't charge friends for free things. I say share the generosity.
Boogs gets the green one.
Serendipper gets the orange one.
You can have the other two plus the parts.
I get none of them.
NO CHARGE!!
Sound fair???

Thought so. ;) So when are you going to pick up YOUR two frames and the wheels?
First of all, thx for ignoring me on yahoo then signing out. I appreciate that. After all we're adults right? ( I would just pm you, as this is worthy of a PRIVATE MESSAGE rather than in someone else's threads, but you'll just conveniently never answer me)
Wasn't the original agreement you picking up the frames for ME? What I did with them afterwards really is none of your business. I'm poor, and I let you know before and after you picked up the frames, I wanted to sell them. I told serendipper I'd sell the frame to him for what 15$? He had no problem with that. I also appreciate you promising one of the frames you got for ME, to boogs. That's wonderful. Thx for the favor, you can just keep ALL of them. Send them to whomever you like.

You should ask your parents if they'll let you get an after-school job, instead of pulling pathetic stunts like this on a gimp like Serendipper.

No crap I need a job, I was thinking of pimping you out!! there are lots of men who love forehead scars and fake red facial hair.
I asked for the frames with the intention of selling them. Serendipper knew I was getting them for free and didn't mind paying a few bucks for the green frame. The orange one I was giving him for free. Either way it's none of your business, but now it's going to be the whole forums business.

First of all I ignored you because you were rude and swore to me in God's name. Second of all, you said you wanted to build up the frame yourself and never mentioned you would sell it to Serendipper until after Serendipper asked me for pics. I asked him why he wanted them and he said he agreed to buy them for $20 NOT $15 plus shipping. Okay. He agreed. But I still think that you should not have used me to get these frames for you to make money off of a friend when I am giving them to you free. If that was the case, you should have picked them up yourself. You also said that you were going to sell the green one to Serendipper without even letting me get a chance to speak up for it, when you knew the moment I was still at the guys house that I liked that one for Boogs. But then that was the one you said you wanted to build. So actually, you only wanted them to make money off of them, not build to ride. You abused my friendship, and was trying to be sneaky about it.
So to Serendipper, I offer everything but the green one as a gift! :)
Thank you, this worked out perfectly. :D
Answer me this: did I not tell you before you picked them up I wanted to sell them because I'm dirt poor?
and actually, at first I was going to keep the nishiki. Then dipper said he wanted it, so I said I'd sell it to him. Then you told me you wanted it, NOT boogs. You see, things change, peoples minds change. Just like when you said you wanted me to pick it up within the week then proceeded to ignore my pms for the whole week only to tell me you didn't "feel" like answering me. Who's abusing what friendship here? I think maybe you've had some past relationship problems, how could me asking you to do me a favor be construed as me using you? man am I confused.

Apparently lied about your intentions....then when Siu wasn't answering you, got on gabbly and was gossipin' about her half the night. I can't believe you were stupid enough to gossip about her to ME.

How did I gossip? I simply stated I think she was ignoring me and I asked you why she wasn't on yahoo. I didn't lie about my intentions, I told her before and after I wanted to sell the frames.

yeah....and saying she'd been acting "weird" lately...and saying it was probably because of boogs and how you thought boogs was a bad influence on her. Forget about those?

Actually yes I did forget about that, I remember now. I stand behind it though, none of that is anything bad about her. Just what I was thinking at the time. Gossip usually involves something negative about a person.
Of course later she did confirm she wasn't feeling well, and that's why she didn't answer me, and as for the whole boogs thing, just my opinion. Not meant to be anything negative.

No you NEVER said you were selling them. ANY of them. You said you wanted the green Nishiki to build up because it is the right size.
I wanted it for Boogs to help me build it up for him. I cannot fit a 19 inch frame if my 17 inch is too big.
I also let you keep them here at my house for three weeks because you said that you don't have transportation. I was holding them for you. As a favor.
And as a matter of fact, I DO have past relationship problems. My problem is that I do too much for people like you. You were using me to get the frames for you under a false belief that you were going to build it up yourself. NOT ONCE did you say you were to sell anyone. Serendipper saw the posting on the thread and asked about the orange one. Not the green one. I agreed to travel there FOR YOU to get you a frame that you wanted sooooo bad, that you had to keep asking me even though I had to change plans to do it.
You know deep inside the truth of what really happened. I cannot believe you are actually like this. I'm disappointed in you.
I'm still highly confused. I could swear at some point I let you know I was selling dipper the frames, because after I told you, you told me you wanted the green one and if I wasn't going to keep it for myself you wanted it. I'm sorry by me asking you to pick up these frames you feel used. That wasn't my intention. If I really wanted the frames, I wouldn't be letting you do what you will with them. I didn't care that much, it's a long drive, and after this it seems not worth it anyways. As for what I did wrong in all this, I can't tell. I thought I'd made it clear what I wanted to do with the frames( I mean common sense would tell you I'm not a roadie and the hardrock frame is too small for me, why would Jon want to keep them for himself). I mean, you really thought I'd build 4 bikes up? even if I built the one nishiki, which would have depended on fit, what would I do with the other 3?
I'm actually surprised at how you've not understood things I've said. I pmed you the following monday asking you when I could get them. At least 2 weeks later I made it very clear, I soon would have no transportation as I couldn't pay for insurance. So where in there, did I ever say I didn't have transportation?

this is not cool... almost all adults here are double pheard's age and are ganging up on him to do a little name calling game and call him immature. Shall i remind you all that we dont know what goes on between two people's private conversations and we shouldnt be so quick to judge others by our impression of a post. I really dont think back and forth on making accusations on pheard is proper. The conversation was between siu and pheard, wrong place? perhaps.. but both parties anr hurt and we dont need to add into it. Let's be the mature people we say we are and drop the accusations and sadly add to more argument and harder feelings.

then you guys do it in private and spare us all
I don't have any hard feelings against anyone. But in my opinion, this isn't the place to discuss this. I find it funny that anyone can come to any conclusions, without hearing or seeing anything that's gone on previously about this between me and sbw. I really had no underhanded intentions, and thought I'd clearly said I wanted to sell at least some of the frames. Sbw said she'd do the favor for me, and I thanked her. I'm thoroughly confused as to how, I've used or deceived anyone. Or how anyone can be offended over someones intentions with some bike frames. As I said before, keep the frames if that's what this whole mess was about. I wasn't that intent on having them anyways.
Siu Blue Wind
09-07-06, 05:39 PM
Serendipper didn't even know about the frames until after I picked them up and after you posted a thread about them. The green Nishiki is a Mtn. frame.
Look Pheard, whatever misunderstanding may be, let's just drop it. A lot of problems are caused by people taking it wrong when we are typing. I'm sure both of us are guilty in some way or another. Don't want to ruin a relationship over free bike frames.
Thank you BDG for awakening me. :o

Shall i remind you all that we dont know what goes on between two people's private conversations and we shouldnt be so quick to judge others by our impression of a post. I think a lot of us have drawn our conclusions from more than just this one thread. I know everyone on Foo is supposed to be all love-burger positive about everything, but I have no such compunction. When I was a young butthole, one of the only things that got through to me was when the older and wiser would call me out for being a dumbass, so now I'm returning the favor.
I think Pheard is okay sometimes but he often acts like a tiresome child, and I think the mods forbade him from posting on the PnR forum because he was not capable of acting like an adult. I like a lot of you here, but some seem to have the conceit that we're all one big "family," I do not share this notion, as I've never met any of you, and I will call a spade a spade. The kid needs to grow the **** up.
