That's really horrible Ed! ??? Ady had a similar case of a bad packing job. I'm waiting for someone telling me, he's got a bike delivered with the address written on the frames-top tube and a bloody stamp on the seatpost. "nono"

Such a shame tho as thats the bike we talked about isn't it :(
It could still be a decent rider but will cost extra money that it shouldn't ... which tends to change your attitude to the bike... all becuase of some lazy lying shitbag.
How was it anyway?

Yes it is the same bike and I had to pay a little more than I told you. In the beginning I was very excited about it, but as soon as I saw all the damage it changed my additude to the bike quite drastically. One arm of the front caliper broke off, it's lever wasn't in the parcel, the other lever is history too, the seat has some cracks and the rims would need a re-chrome. ...but there's a very nice chrome underneath that spray painted pretzel-bar. :laugh:
It could be a nice bike for sure, but I don't have the cash to get it all sorted in a way that makes me happy with it again. Now it sits on my staircase upstairs. I'm not frustrated about the whole situation anymore and maybe one day I may take care it and restore it. ...or I may sell it and leave that project to the new owner. Overall there's nothing wrong with the bike itself, but everytime I look at it, there is this feeling of disapointment. I should have payed more attention to that gut feeling.
Besides that I'm fine! ;)

Don't know the prospects on this route but that you'd have to be quick about complaining. Then again i think the sender would have to make a complaint, and i guess that's out of reach in this case anyway.....
file it under 'Lehrgeld' (...hi kollege :D), and build it up as a rider, like you had planned in the first place. ...that would get dented anyway. ...your Dyno just came ready-made with scars 8)

No, there is only insurance via DHL if an item is either sent with it's original packaging or if it's packed well with a lot of soft and cuddly stuff inside. The seller failed in either cases! :LolLolLolLol: Booked like recommended mate! :daumenhoch:
