I know you can buy direct but does anyone know if there is a UK importer or of any UK shops that deal DeKerf.

Tried the website but can not find much info

Cheers

Just buy direct … there was a UK importer who was a proper ****t. Shame this site was hacked as you'd have found a very lengthy thread regarding said ****t from a few years ago.

I remember him, and that thread – same bloke that shafted some people a few years before on Transition frames?

Sideways Cycles do Dekerf, or they did last time I was in there a couple of months back;-

househusband you have a good memory 😉

*bows*

Didn't shaft you, did he?

To the tune of 1.5K … you live and learn.

****!!! Sorry to hear that – take it you never got it back?

(Even from credit card company, if that's how you paid? I recall that when he tried selling DeKerf he never took credit card…)

He never took cards so I never saw a penny.

The folks at Transition were really good but at the end of the day it wasn't their fault / problem. They did everything they could to get Jim (I think) Dekerf to bugger him off. I had a few calls from Mr Dekerf who decided he was going to stick by his importer … I like to think I did whatever I could to bring that relationship to a swift end.

The ****t in question managed to walk away from £140K+ worth of debt.

I'm over it now, can you tell? 😉

Ah, great bikes, shame about the thoroughly useless promotion in the UK (and possibly everywhere else).

Here's my Elysium Ti –

s8tannorm you actually let some one get away with £1.5k of your money?? I'd of payed a personal visit for that kind of money!

It's a very long story but he'd reported me to the police for *blackmail 😯 so I'd had a visit and been warned off.

*Not that I blackmailed anyone … I just asked him for a Dekerf frame in lue of my money

You've changed forum names, haven't you, s8tannorm..!

Nope, always had this one since day 1.

1.5k. That's enough to get a body dumped in a canal around these parts.

I was thinking family.

Nope, always had this one since day 1.

Thought there was someone under a different name that took 'direct' action against whats-his-face..!

There were plenty of folk who weren't best happy, some went down for more money than I did.

This Dekerf importer who had away with the money, didnt have anything to do with the Mountain cycle from around 2000 by any chance?

stonemonkey I've no idea, just Transition and Dekerf at the time he went under.

Transferred all his assets/house to his wife (protecting himself) or something, didn't he?

Thanks all, explains why there is no importer now.

Cheers

£1.5k? That's chainsaw amputation territory round these parts…

Bonus burning a hole GS? 😉
