Funny, because I know someone who bought a Marin frame from 'Luke' back in the day. Turned out to be not as described, an absolute nail and my mate ended up getting onto his dad about it because he refused to refund the money...
very bad form by realman
acted the tool online but i woulda normally trusted someone that posts that much in all fora
original ad was too dodgy tho so wouldnt have touched it.
scammers, traders, useless fukwits and folk that want brand new prices for second hand parts makes the classifieds pretty poor these days
*checks recent sale thread for feedback*

funny you should say that
WOW, Internet stalking is FUN!
These appear to be the brakes:

At this moment RealMan appears to have fallen into the trap of thinking that backing down is a sign of weakness, when in fact its strength.
I think it's more a sign he has spent the money.
another twist! better than tv, this.

It certainly is a thread that keeps on giving, closing, moderated, deleting etc.
That Santa Cruz is the best bike in the world btw...
So maybe not Luke then... Georges FB piccy below, is RM's profile pic..

On stink-bombs and pop, I'd wager.
Jimmy could send him a birthday card next month

Its a brave (real)man that wears a Polka dot jersey....
Please, just give him a [b]REFUND[/b], I think you'd struggle to find any normal person who thinks what you have done is OK.

+ however many it's up to by now.
Sheesh, get over yourselves. Realman is [b]not[/b] 'Luke' from back in the day - I know I'd be pretty p****d off if my name was linked with bad classifieds practice just because of a hunch someone had 🙄 , oh and fwiw I don't believe that the abusive email posted prior to yesterday's deletions originated from a genuine address either . . . but hey, that's just a hunch 🙄 .
See ya! XXX

We have established that, actually from what I know of him he is all educated now and getting engaged.
Calm down dear it's only a STW thread 😉 ... I only said I got the "impression" it was Luke (I can't remember why) & [u]asked for confirmation[/u], since then I had already retracted that, when the facebook link was posted...

That's not a polka dot jersey mate. That's a plain white jersey in pristine condition which has never been worn outside.

following the tweets, that's neither here nor there.
name-change to The Real Hustle? 🙂
Is this still going on,
oh well the issue has been established an a resolution proposed,
now for countless more pages of mud slinging and general infighting,
Spiced Char Latte tea and an oatcake anyone?
jimmy - you know where I am if you need a shoulder to cry on, love. Or a reacharound.
All the best, and kick the chump in the **** if you get a chance.

[i]the issue has been established an a resolution proposed, [/i]
the resolution being that the seller has told the buyer to eff off?
It's only possible to conclude that realman is a robbing **** crab, he has trashed his own rep on here, so I guess he values the cash more than his rep.
Good christ, are we still going? How many posts does it take for everyone to say the same thing?
Kudos to RealMan for dealing with this in the proper manner...

i would just like to say the same thing, before i blow my load on FB and ****ter which it seems is where the banned have gone

Wow impressed at how Realman has in effect screwed his own reptation. Jimmy posted a thread asking for advice without naming people, okay it doesn't take a genius or Detective to figure out who/what he was referring to however he stil didn't name Realman. I think REalman needs to realise on a 7 page thread there are about 2 posts who agree with him, by my maths that doesn't make it 51/49!! If he had said okay I disagree however I will give you a full refund (less postage) jimmy goes away happy, Realman can still re-sell brakes (with some hassle yes) and his reputation stays intact. Now I just think Realman is a complete tool especially to CONTINUE to e-mail Jimmy. How stupid does he think people are?
What a complete muppet Realman is, shame though that Jimmy is still out of pocket.

BOOOOOOOOM!
Hugor .. realman doesn't think so though he thinks it 51/49 .. I wonder if he thinks he's the 51 though??
Did someone mention [url=
and [url= https://twitter.com/#!/exeunibikeclub ]Twitter[/url] ?

Is this the same Realman that got hounded off Bikeradar for being a lttle annoying?
He looks like he's nodded off in that pic, bless 'im.
I would rather have a rep for selling dodgy stuff than for online bulling which you lot seem to find acceptable.
There is small courts for this stuff, points have been made let em sort it out.
I would say this thread should be closed.
Jim,I told the truth, there's nothing more to do. I'm not going to try and defend myself against each and every point, because I don't see any reason to. The truth is enough.
You have done your very best to destroy my reputation. Short of having the mods delete the thread and yourself starting a new thread admitting you were wrong and apologizing to me, there's no way I'm going to do anything for you.
I haven't been on the thread since I posted, and am not planning on going back on it any time soon. You can send me the salient points if you'd like, but I won't read them.
Also I'm very aware that 51-49 is overriding. It was what I thought would happen, that some people would side with you, others with me. I guess you starting the thread and ripping into me managed to bias enough people on to your side. I nearly started a thread myself, of the similar sort to yours, but didn't see the need as we were still in contact with each other, and I didn't want to stoop that low without needing to. I guess I regret that slightly now.
Apart from sending me an apology, I don't see any reason for you to contact me again.
Enjoy the brakes, they really are great. Honestly.
George.
Think he's on drug's,
the FB photos and twitter links are pretty pathetic and as IanW says amount to bullying, and pretty childish.
Bollocks. He's ripped someone off and deserves all he gets. It's hardly bullying if he's not here.
I would say its getting too close to bullying for comfort as well
King of the mountains jersey. Says it all.
