Yep. This is the same bike and the same story. I paid $80 in shipping to get it to me, and when it arrived, it was damaged. He claimed that he could not get FedEx to accept a claim because I had taken it to my LBS to build before looking at it. At one point he told me he had a replacement fork from another 610, but then apparently that fork was damaged too. Anyway, he said I could return the bike but that he would not spilt the shipping with me under any circumstance. So basically I was going to be out at least $160, just in shipping, if I returned it. He then offered the $100 for a replacement fork. I explained to him that this was of little real help, as finding a truly adequate fork was going to be next to impossible. He said take or leave it....so i took it and left the appropriate feedback. All in all the guy was a condescending acussatory jerk from the get go...overall just a crappy experience. Bottom line here is that I am stuck with money invested in an unrideable bike and no closer to getting to ride a classic 610 than I was 2 months ago. So....good people of this forum. Help
