"Lads and lasses - I've just put a couple more very tasty nicely restored Italian frames on ebay. Bobbiker is my moniker. Take a look."

Hi CR:
Beware of this guy!!! Last year I bought a Colnago frame from him. It needed some repair and a repaint. He wanted to repaint and decal the frame like a 1970s Super. I said no because I didn't want to mislead a future buyer.
He also jerked me around, changing his price after the work had begun, and he never met the turnaround time. When I complained about the new price he said he would have to check his records. When I complained about the turnaround, he blamed me for the delay. It was always my fault.
Finally when the job was finished and I paid him, he returned my check, saying he thought I did not want the bike. He said it had been sold on Ebay. I checked his feedback and asked for a item number: NOTHING. This is the guy who called New Yorkers cheats. How many bikes/frames has he sold that are not what he claims-??

Michael I know Bob Freeman overs the years and I can't accept your version of your version of the Colango story. I am sure you left out parts that would tell another story were you were at fault and you our just prehaps just trying to justifly your actions that didn't result in what you want to happen. If you have a compaint talk it over with Boband resolve it there and not on this chat line!!! Charles Nighbor Walnut Creek, CA
