Hi chaps.
I am in a bit of a sticky situation and need some help :-\ I bought this quad of a long term member on here, who told me it was an 80's quadangle. I had no reason to doubt this info and I had looked into the different models of quad frames before deciding to get an 80's one and put up a wanted post.
I got this one offered to me and I bought it. Now the problem is, I have sold it on ebay for £320. I listed it up as an 80's quad, but the buyer is telling me its a reissue from as late as last year :-[
I thought all the 2000 and onwards reissues had longer top tubes and lugs on the chainstays. Is this right?? I have offererd him a full refund of £320 once I get the frame back, but if he decides to log a claim with paypal, ill have my account go on hold :'(
Here are pics of the quad in question



Any help and advice would be great as I want to do the right thing buy the buyer if it is a mistake on my part and it isnt an 80's frame set. Cheers fellas :daumenhoch:

I'm pretty sure they do have all you've mentioned mate.. Have you asked the member that sold it to you? How it all turns out ok. :daumenhoch:

Looks like a late 80s frame for sure  :daumenhoch:

Although, having said that I havent looked at the re issue quads for a good few years.

Didn't the re-issue Quads all come as loopy's to replicate the early 80's frames, except the Pro's and Expert's that are a different shape ???

Yours definately looks mid 80's  :)

Thanks for the replies so far. As much info as I can get would be great. I just wondered if there were some reissues that I didnt know about. The buyer is saying that he doesn't want a refund as of yet. I think he just wants to make sure its defo an 80's. I have said I will keep hold of his cash untill he is happy ( I have just done a deal for a freestyle quad so hope he will be :-\) :daumenhoch:
