As the title - anyone bought from this guy? If so, would you recommend buying from him? And why has he got so many bikes?!?!?
Thanks
Never heard of him. Had a look though and he does have lots of bikes for sale. Does look a bit dodgy but anyone else had any experiences???
No experiences - his name pops up a lot on bikeradar as "elephan"
Yeah I saw that he posts on bikeradar. Just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with him.
I bought from him, via bike radar, got a nice little tcr alu roadbike about 6 months ago.
no complaints at all.
met him at his house, cash exchanged, good prompt communication, a nice bloke.
would happily reccomend him.
he is cheaper than ebay, but not as cheap as the stw classifieds imho, but he does have a variety of roady kit.
he has some particularly cheap carbon deep rim wheels which i regret not buying....
I did ask him if he was a dealer, but he said he had just built up a lot of bikes over time..... juries still out on that one imho.
He did have a fair few in his house.
Just to update this in case anyone else is thinking of buying - I ended up buying a Giant OCR from this guy. It was second hand but is absolutely immaculate - a fair price too and he packed it up well for delivery. So i'd have no hesitation in recommending him.
I have just seen this post so apologies in the delay from the 1st post.
I am the said Andrew Whyment. I do post on numerous forums as elephan and also on EBay as 3006christopher.
As said by the two glowing reviews (thanks very much!) I am not a dealer as such, just someone who loves bikes and has built up a collection over a number of years - some with the aim to ride myself, some with the aim to sell on.
I can assure everyone that everything is above board with all sales and I am more than happy for perspective purchasers to call me or test products before they buy.
Regards
Andrew Whyment
