Janzen Boulton and undelivered YETI ARC X

Slam it

I’d pay £750 for that!

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

I disagree. A thief is a thief pure and simple. You’d have had a refund back as the bike wouldn’t have existed or he’d have set ou to scam/ignore you full stop I feel.

To a far far lesser degree- lots of STW sellers sell an item then keep meaning to get round to actual posting, laziness. Others have stuff happen in their lives where things take a backseat.

What if the seller had a bereavement or something else?

Mismatching QR’s too.

Nice that!

+1, like the turquoise.

Probably not the first to suggest this but…..

Stolen to order?

🙂

Slam it

I’m guessing that’s not going to happen…

I too misread the title – was expecting something XS . . .

. . . nice looking X bike though but distinctly lacking in filth 😐 . . .

To a far far lesser degree- lots of a certain STW sellers sell user accepts an item then keeps meaning to doesn’t get round to actual posting collecting due to laziness.

FTFY Hora… 😛

I suspect it just took him ages to get around to posting it. I live a life where it takes me months to do things – I am busy working nearly all the time and when I have free time I’m on my bike. So proper actual doing important things take a side line as I can do them later in the week when I’m free (which I’m then not).

I’d be giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. Looks a nice bike anyway.

A CX bike? Thought it was going to be one of these

Yes I did misread the title, I is still dissappointed

This might cheer up bikebouy

And

Now it’s

Time.

Hi all, just seen this thread,

My Yeti was stolen from Bristol about 5 weeks ago and looks exactly the same even down to the pedals.

Can you please check the serial number.*

Oh crumbs.

Oh oh, please don’t let it be so…..

well this just took an unexpected twist

(please please please don’t be a wind up)

<edit> “*6N1DD1K5TUJ” you added that since I posted, you naughty man!
and the 5 is in the wrong place

another ninja edit, grrr

uh oh.

Oh dear…

You have a pic of it, Tiger?

Did you have insurance and did it pay out?

Ahem
I did say……!

Did you have insurance and did it pay out?

without wanting to start a row. I’m not sure it;s relevant to whether the OP has bought a stolen bike from the mysterious Mr Jantzen?

oh this is just the gift that keeps on giving

*gets biscuits out the fridge*

It is like riding a roller coaster of my emotions. I need therapy.

Oh heck….

This is better than Hollyoaks! Obviously not for the people involved, must suck to be them, but for idle watchers its intense! Needs more attractive people though.

Tiger6791, I expect you’re currently feeling as sick as a dog…….

Oh goody, re-added to favorites…

Needs more attractive people though.

I resent that!

*looks in mirror*

Ah, right. As you were 🙁

Im not sure how to include the post im referring to in my post, I am referring to the post by hora.
With all due repect I disagree.
I think that when he originaly had the bike for sale he didnt intend to do what he did.
I think that at some point either just before I paid or just after his plan changed.
He was contacting me via text and email and signing off as Becky. The paypal payement and the google searches on the phone number indicated that it was JB.
I appreciate that everyones circumstances are different, but to tell someone that something is in the post when its not and then to ignore them for almost 3 weeks.
his phone was ringing and he was taking the time to press busy.
I have the bike so I’m not really too fussed about arguing as to JB’s reasons. This caused me more stress than it should have.

without wanting to start a row. I’m not sure it;s relevant to whether the OP has bought a stolen bike from the mysterious Mr Jantzen?

Possibly but if he was paid out is it fair that the OP then loses all his money and was innocent in all the affair? If its an insurance job- the insurance company takes the bike/offers back to the stolee maybe?

Thats if…it was insured and its his call anyway I guess..

I can’t waste another day waiting to see if the bike is now legit. Once more for good measure…. We all need closure!!

Holy crap…

just seen the post from tiger.

Are you serious. PM me

I will check the serial number now. I rode to work on the bike.

this just gets wierder.

hazzajoe – have you seen the post with the frame number on? Can you post a pic of your frame number? [edit] cross post.

Course it’s relevant. Heroic OP gets bike. New poster says he had same bike stolen and asks for serial number check. We could get pitchforks back out if the recycling Mr Jantzen is indeed flogging dodgy bikes.
