And proof that if you get a bike for free, it's really easy to sell for a large profit!

Although you didn't "do anything" technically, I would feel bad for the buyer.

yeah dude I'm not going to be polite about it... that was a huge dick move describing the bike like that. you don't even know if the flipchops are njs? and are you sure that was really japanese made? doubt it. and nothing can be "better than Mint (sic)," it's either mint or in a worse condition.

all in all it's a generic bike boom conversion with slightly nicer lugwork and some possibly-decent, esoteric cranks.

in the general sense (not pointed at you): if you have any sense of morality, relist that with a less misleading description with more hard facts and less embellishment. the ruthless capitalist in you would never think of morals, though.

He liked the bike, he bid, simple as that.

I'm not sure how rare that frame is, but that looks like a bad deal for him.

How hard is it to go buy a metric tape measure from a dollar store or x-mart?

Yeah, I mentioned this in the eBay thread already. You lied about pretty much everything and suckered some newb. Your grand-pap would be proud, I am sure. Oh well, I believe in karma

LOL, I just noticed your description of the pedals: "The pedals are MKS track pedals with MKS stainless cages and leather straps". Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm going to sound stupid asking, but wha da hell: what does njs mean, i see this everywhere?
I'm not the buyer, by the way.

just for the record, bdfresh, although the buyer is ultimately at fault for spending too much, you are a total scumbag for your inaccurate and deceptive listing and a ****ing ******bag for coming here to brag about it.

Welp, it is a public forum....and anyone with an eBay account can message another eBay member....


And yeah, the guy is a douch3-bag; he received a lot of help here before he built up his awesome NJS-Keirin-grandpappy machine and he goes out and burns a newb. This is why we can't have nice things.
