OK!............here we go with to feet into the ''HOT WATER!''
I've dealt with a few of his so called customers!...............Awhile back we were getting emails from his customers asking why do we sell to him if he is so dishonest!........But I've never seen nor met this fellow. Since some of the items that he's selling were the same as we were and being from the same real location ( Holland! ) they all thought I was supplying him but we were not.........Anyway, I was spending a lot of time dealing with his customers! He would sell product then use his supplier to fill his sales............So to say he had no stock on hand. With his misleading information and sometimes bad responces with his replys to unhappy customers, enough was enough! He also had the nerve to tell one of his customers that rodents ate his OR10 rims................It wasn't rodents, it was us! We went in there and scooped up the remaining 4 cases of OR10s!......Mess with my fellow Americans and you mess with me!..................Told my other half, rent a truck and we are going shopping!................So we did!
As for the bike reserves dropping, simple these bikes are picked up for ''CHEAP!'' and there are ''TONs!'' all over the place! You see shops here do trade-ins on bikes! So, these things sit and sit and sit!! So it's easy and cheap to pick these things up for cheap.
As for some of these so, so Colnagos and others!..............Do beware!......People here were able to buy Bogus Bike stickers here like pulling gum balls out of the Gum ball machines! Hey!.........If I want to ride a Colnago today I go out and buy some Colnago stickers...If I wish for a Rossin......then so be it! And some of these bikes are showing up on ebay. I've seen thousands and thousands of these transfers!.............If I get some of these bikes then it's for the components.
This be the real deal, am I uneasy as to saying what I did,................NO!
OK! Cinelli Time trial Helmets! $ 14.- EA,.......2 for $ 25.-......3 for $ 36.-....4 for $ 40.-.
Also note we located NOS Sedisport chains, bulk packed from the former PDM manager from the Rooks, Kelly and Lemond era!.................$ 16 ea!...............No these are not stamped Sachs! Very nice condition straight out of an unopened box so they are fresh!
BC Baron C................And the gang!................Pulling the all nighter again tonight! 3 kidds are sleeping and Cecile is prepping orders for Santas Sleigh............Eindhoven Holland! Hey! We can really use some real donuts................Donuts here...............''SUCKs!''
