Wow, I didn't realize I'd done that much business here. Thanks to all. Hope I didn't overlook a good one.

you get around...

Thanks to cyclotine and sonatageek. I had great experiences buy off of both of them!

I recently traded some parts with Iowegian and everything worked out great! Thanks man!

Just got my Dura Ace trple from Robbie Tunes. It was better than expected. Plus he through in bonus Dura Ace crank arms!! Highly recommend Robbie if you need parts!!

Ilikebikes, junkfoodjunkie, Slushlover2 and EjustE are highly recommended. Everything went smooth and items were better than described

Hey Rob,
How is your wife enjoying her new bike?

Hey Rob,
How is your wife enjoying her new bike?

If the winter precipitation would ever cease, she could actually go out and ride. I need to get her levers for people w/ small hands, but other than that, she LOVES the bike! Thank you so much!

I finally have something to contribute here. Unworthy1 is a fine guy to deal. Met him locally to pick up his Nishiki frame. Very gracious individual, and if you're buying anything from him, know that you're buying from a good guy.

:thumb: for PlatyPius and CV-6. Thanks guys.

mkeller sent me some great brakes for a fair price. very nice guy.

Junkfood was a pleasure to deal with and sent everything quickly in as expected condition at reasonable prices. He's an asset to the site.

It was a good experience on my end too. I added your name to my running list on the first page.

Thanks, guys!

Bought 2 rims from sr70guy, they were excellently packed, zip tied to a particle board and
then placed into a heavy cardboard box (cut to size around the rims). Not a scratch on them.
These were shipped from the Netherlands and took 1 week to be delivered to my desk.

I also bought 1 Fiamme Rim from CV-6, again excellent packing and fast shipping.

I can't recommend these two sellers enough, if either one has something you need, rest assured
it will get to you in a timely manner and in one piece. I would most definitely buy from either
of them before.

Traded athena calipers to txvintage for Modolo bars and stem...very good transaction, friendly guy and love the parts.

I can't remember the names of those I've transacted with, but all transactions have been good.

You all have been great to work with.

I just opened a box sent by rat fink. Done right, ingenious use of free USPS materials, and boy, am I going to have fun.

Thanks to junkfoodjunkie , Jonny HK and CV-6 for excellent transactions within the last month.

Thanks for the seamless transaction and great RD miamijim! A pleasure to do business with you.

Kudos to Walfredo. I made an error in his favor on pricing. He brought it to my attention. Class move in my book. He did not have to do that.

No worries mate but I do appreciate the kudos. Your original price was fair plus I really wanted to make sure we were talking about the same item. Paypal is on its way.


Got the Mafac gold levers and hoods and they are beautiful. Big thanks to CV-6.

The bike I bought from Elev12k arrived very well packed and right on time. Don't let shipping from Europe deter you - if you buy a bike from him, it will arrive unscathed. Thanks!

Thank you. It was a pleasure doing business with you too, Steve

My deal with redxj was smooth as silk. no worries :)

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this really belongs here, but big time thanks to Chris in Miami. He checked out my new Raleigh International...he took photos, he picked it up, he broke it down, he packed it and he shipped via Amtrak to Philly. Big time class guy who did a terrific job getting me a really cool bike.

Thanks Chris!

Banjo_mole and Cuda888 were successful trades for me so far.

Pacifico's words say it best regarding Elev12k. 100% comfortability in purchasing from our friend over the pond. Elev12k delivers!

So far so BAD with member named "Rat Fink" - Joe Beazel. He'd gotten some good rep points here so I thought I'd be good.

Guess he had a change of heart. I've been waiting a month for my parts and he has the wheelset and Look pedals. He's refused to answer emails and PMs. I know he's been logged in so I know he sees them and purfosefully avoids me.

Rat Fink - Joe is a THIEF in my book.

Story:
We agreed to a trade of my wheelset w/ 600 tricolor hubs, and Look Delta pedals for a variety of parts. He asked for $15 to cover the shipping on his end crying about how he's unemployed and I initially sent it via paypal. Then I reconsidered the deal and backed out. He refunded the money via paypal so all was well. I decided that not having to pay for shipping I'd go ahead with the deal. I sent the parts and he said he shipped them on the 11th. Up to that point he was very responsive and eager to get the parts.
I see why now.
I've not received anything, he's refused to answer a string of emails and PMs. He's been on this site many times so I know he's seen the messages. He has not even tried to contact me with any information or explanation.

He's got a full wheelset and pedal set and I have nothing. He's a thief and a liar.

He has A LOT of stuff posted in the trade forums so BEWARE!

His email is: rodsnratfinks@gmail.com name is Joe so WATCH OUT for the SCAM

Luckily I have an address and I'm working some angles.


Edit: After airing this out I've got some correspondence. Resolution pending.

Bought Campy RD and crank from CudaK888.......Thanks Kurt. :)

Nomad--

As someone who has dealt with both you and Joseph, I would like to let you know that my experience was good and that he will likely resolve the situation. It took awhile for me to get my stuff as well, but I'm not in a rush and I understand people's issues with time. Hopefully you guys come to a resolution.

Thanks, I'm getting correspondence now so i expect this to be all worked out shortly.
Thanks for all the help/messages from forum members.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to slushlover 2 (Dick) and his wife Marge for driving up to Waterloo, Ia. It was the exchange day for the Bruce Gordon "Rock n' Road" I purchased a couple of weeks ago.

Can't say enough nice comments, but he really treated the bike right. Took every part off the bike and did a complete overhaul for me. ..... and drove half way across Iowa to deliver. Very thoughtful.

The bike is everything I hoped for and more!

Dick, if you read this, I stopped at Lanesboro on the way back. The trout were still biting.

I managed another 4 pound German Brown trout that was so fat and sassy, it looked like a football. :)

Thanks again.

Hey Grady,
It was nice meeting you also. I hope you enjoy the bike.

I bought a Mavic 330 seatpost from CudaK888
I actually joined the list to buy it! I was directed to the ad by a member of the UK retrobike forum where I had posted a wanted ad for one.

I think now I'll stick around.

I'm so Stoked to get the seatpost - the final part in a now complete Mavic group.
Kurt was an absolute gent and went out of his way to get the shipping cost down.
Post arrived quickly and as described.
All very good.

Collin2424 and I did a handlebar and stem trade. Great communication, no delays, and the bars and stem are exactly what I needed.
Thanks Collin!

Perfect transaction RobbieTunes!
Campy NR parts looking outstanding!

Hope it works out between rat fink and thenomad, as I value both of them and their contributions to the forum.
If there's anything I can do for either of you, let me know.

Edit: Got my box of parts from Rat Fink, some things omitted but a few extras substituted.
Unfortunate communication issues but it's all water under the bridge now.

Thanks all.

Otto Rax Rocks.

Nice transaction with miamijim. Sold him an Edco BB. He paid smartly. Thanks, Jim.

Julian

Special thanks to member dit. He went out of his way on my behalf in consummating a long distance deal. A true gentleman.

Thank you, Ray.
