Janzen Boulton and undelivered YETI ARC X

…….I collected the box last night from a neighbour that signed for the box at midday yesterday. It was almost 18.00 when I got home.
I read on page 5 someone said to video the opening of the box to cover myself, good idea but I didnt read it until this morning.
..

I’ll cut to the chase.

The Yeti arrived and it was as described, It was filthy and not packaged very well at all, looked like kind of a rush job!

To be honest. I was just happy to recieve it.

Will somebody think of the children!!!!

I wasnt being a tease. I meant to reply straight away, Im at work.

Yay!!

You should have left it until this evening to update

YAAAY!

You put work ahead of updating the STW massive?

Priorities all wrong there…

Glad it turned up and was as described.

That’s it.

I am a dissapoint

I’ll give you a grand for it.

now about this Giant on the classifieds…

Good to hear it arrived, OP.

Sounds like all it needs is a bit of a clean up, and you’ll be able to bang it back on the classifieds for £900 8)

Thanks for all of the replies, the positive ones, the serious ones, the funny ones and the ones stating that I’m a dick for using paypal gift, believe me, I called myself much worse than that before I even posted on here.

I’ll get back to page 5 this afternoon and read all of the posts.

I took a quick pick on my phone so I’ll try to get it uploaded to photobucket and get it on soonish

Thanks STW

We need photographic evidence to prove it’s arrived, it could all be an elaborate ruse to make us all do some work!

Pictures or it didn’t happen

Oh . . .

I’ll take my hangover back to bed then.

I’ll take my hangover back to bed then.

…but what about the guy who got a BMX bar stuck up his bum?

What are we supposed to do now?

Ha ha Jamie, it wasn’t his bum but it did require 32 stitches 😯 – fortunately we’d already eaten before he showed us the pics (coming to a MBR ‘old guys who should know better’ photo gallery soon I reckon).

What are we supposed to do now?

This

Pleased for the OP. But this:

The Yeti arrived and it was as described, It was filthy and not packaged very well at all, looked like kind of a rush job!

Makes me feel he wasn’t expecting to sell it. I could be wrong and if I am I apologise to JB. IMO it’s still poor form, none of my stuff goes out with being clean and protected to arrive in the condition I’d expect to see it myself. P

Let’s assume, as we got **** all else to do now, that the seller was legit. It genuinely surprises me that someone could forget to post a bike they received £750 for. Ok, some major life event happens, but 18 days+ or whatever it was?

…or, if they guy was trying to be a scammer. Well. He is pretty bad at it.

Awe I feel kind of deflated, kind of an anti climax ending TBH. We’ve built the OP up and trashed the Seller to bits filled the Internetz with hilarity and now..

Now it’s all gone and turned a bit..

Dull..

Again. 🙁

I am however enlightened to the creativity in all of you lot, clearly there are some smart geniuses on here and I’d like to say that you’ve all entertained me greatly.

Well done.

I’d still like to see a pic of the bike though, sounds a bit shite sending filthy, bet he had one last ride on it and thought sod it.. To that end I think the sellers a bit of a git. 😛

Aw ffs just bought a shiny new pitchfork !!!!

I think we need to hear from Janzen to finally close this loop. Something along the lines of he needed the money to pay his Nan back after she lent him cash for his Uni fees and the only way he could deliver the cash to her was on his Yeti ARC X coz his other bikes weren’t ideal for cash deliveries, so he couldn’t post it until he’d paid his Nan back and she was on holiday in Jersey until middle of last week

Quick pic that I took last night. I rode it up and down the street and it was fine.
Rode it to work this morning and everything worked as it should.

Im not really sure what the seller was up to, I am inclined to think that he was trying it on, maybe thinking that because i’d paid paypal gift and because I lived so far away that I would just write off £750 if he ignored me….
I’m relieved that the bike is now in my possession

Looks nice. Always like the Yeti CX

Ahhh now I understand. hazzajoe spent all day yesterday cleaning his drive and garage door so he could post that pic, hence the lack of updates.

ETA – Tyre logos still need sorting though 😉

If I’d have known it was a yeti road bike…….

I wish my bikes were as ‘filthy’ as that…

Not convinced the gossamer spokes on the front wheel are going to hold

If I’d have known it was a yeti road bike…….

Clues in the thread title.

Result for the STW massive yayeeeeeeeeeee

Nice that!
