trasher:
gutted for you steve ,,,i know you like a resto :'(,but these cnuts want fookin ,as said the idiot who did this must be totally brain dead :crazy2:
animal:
Right went 2 sort this out with the cnuts 2 day . Spoke 2 the guy Graham who always sorts me out ;) He was very forth coming and said somebody had not followed strict instructions and had taken it upon themselves whilst stripping the chrome 2 try 2 get the post out :uglystupid2: He was gob smacked at the extent of the damage and more than apologetic . He offered 2 pay the whole cost of the repair :daumenhoch: I then used this offer as a brokering deal as I will do the repairs myself or get somebody I trust, like Phil (SAWZALL) 2 help . He has agreed 2 chrome 2 sets of bars and a seatpost in compensation ;) Which I am more than happy with 8) I am still not happy with the state of my frame but at least I will not b out of pocket now ???
Thanks 4 all the supportive comments in my hour of need :daumenhoch: Good buddies 8) 8) 8)
markyp:
guess thats better than a kick in the nads but that poor mrd,think if it were me id still be in a state of shock,guess it kind of compensates,at least its cheered you up a bit steve,its when things like this happen it makes you wonder if its all worth the hassle. :crazy2:
ED209:
I'd want to meet that 'somebody' :knuppel2:
glad you managed to get to a vaguely happy place with this... :daumenhoch:
fischflo:
yea, glad you're confident about the repair situation. I wouldn't know what to do-- perhaps take the frame apart, stick something in the dented tubes and widen or somheow 'work it' with the hammer lol. Probably would look worse afterwards ;D
