The negative comments on list and off seem to be missing the point. There are two issues here.

I'm sure Bob Freeman treated CR members who went to him with their precious frames with great respect. But he didn't know I was a CR member, just some schmuck who bought something from him on ebay. He then sold the frame that belong to me without my permission and lied about it.

But the most important issue is his suggestion and willingness to decal the frame I had bought INCORRECTLY. If anything had happened, he would say the customer asked for it that way. Of course I refused.

This list has been quick to chasten others who would misrepresent their wares, whether intentionally or otherwise, including jerseys that didn't fit, mis-dated parts and frames etc.
