I comprehend things just fine thx. Likely to fail doesn’t mean it WILL fail. The truth is that part could last for years and perhaps never fail. My dahon is a 2008 so the bike had been used for about 12 years with a faulty handlepost. The real issue here is that you believe it is inappropriate for me to offer a part either to give away or sell that could be defective. Well I got news for you. I can offer anything for sale or free no matter what it’s issues are as long as I tell the person who wants the part what the issues are. What that person does with that part is their business. I’m not going to dictate or try to impose my opinion on what they do with it. Now I bought my dahon last year off a guy who didn’t tell me that the handle post had a recall on it. He probably didn’t even know there was a recall. I rode the bike for one month or so before I found out about the recall then I immediately ordered a new one and didn’t ride the bike. Now if that handlepost failed and I injured myself, who would be to blame?
