I want to join the boat, too. I bought a copy of High Performance Bicycles (been so long I don't really recall the title, might have been The Custom Bicycle!) 14 months ago. After three months I got in touch with him and I said I would wait somewhat longer for Royal Mail and US Mail to catch up. Last June (about 11 mo after purchase!) I tried several times to contact him and ask him to provide me with a copy of the book or a refund, and no answer. He did offer me a copy at one point, but I deferred, giving him the benefit of the doubt. I feel doubly foolish, actually. I also once (before teh book) bought a freewheel from him with "lots of miles left," and it is totally worn out in the middle cogs. Would not deal with him again, and it tends (with another cross-pond loss) to taint me against any more EU purchases.
