And who sent this to him
Q:
Hi, I saw this advert as it was posted on an internet forum due to the laughable description. You stated you don't know much about this sort of thing so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but I get pretty annoyed when I see people try to rip off anyone getting into cycling. That bike NEVER cost £1700, not in a million years! If you did get it as payment and believed it cost that much then I'd go knocking on that person's door. I'd say that bike cost roughly £150 new. The seatpost is on backwards, the chain is fitted around the chainring the opposite way as to how it should be fitted, the bars are at an un-useable angle all in all it's a massive pile. £1 is about how much it's worth and fortunately most riders will be able to tell, but (and it might be your intention) you might fool a parent or kid who now has Christmas money and think they are grabbing a bargain. I know you'll not change the advert, but I thought I'd give you my thoughts and perhaps you'll think more nexttime

Good morning Ingerith, Hmm No name? But lots to say...... But sensibly you did give me the benefit... Along with the advert is a clear detail which you Conveniently missed in your rant..... I state, ' please do not ask me any details as I know nothing about bikes' What part if that is difficult for you to understand or digest? If you say it's worth a pound? You're a moron, it clearly is not! Conversely if you say it isn't, and perhaps you have experience ? Then fair enough!! Either way, keep your comments to yourself, they are neither helpful or warranted. It's a genuine sale, if it goes for £10 it does! You suggestive comments regarding a rip off or con are ridiculous!! It's an auction and people will only bid shat they want.. The pictures are clear, and as you have so knowledgeably pointed out, the bike Is not A1 condition...... My advice to you, mind your own business, don't bid, and in future be careful with your slanderous emails! You are welcome to your opinion, but the minute you write it down and it is not correct, the law kicks in. Happy Christmas Kevin.
