Purchased the bars in good faith, then let down by this seller...total scam.

If anyone can stitch this twat up feel free. If anyone can get me his location I will go there and sort this out myself.

He said he was in TSB bank north London, but the cash ended up going into a TSB in Beechley Birmingham.

Here is the name, sort code, and account number for those of you who may get scammed also.

I reported this to Pinkbike and the twat is still advertising the bars I've purchased, and other items....STAY CLEAR OF THIS SELLER.

Apparently this is his name and details....come on Pinkbikers, PM me and i'll keep it discreet on my visit.

 Bro you know I would do more than stitch him up if I was local... thieving scum are the root of all evil. How much are you out?

 Not much but the principle of it. Why come on a bike site and rip off bikers? If I lived near him I would be getting more than he owes me. Pinkbike haven't even stepped in and replied to me, or blocked him? This site ain't what it used to be bro...

On a good note, I'm stripping down the blue Salsa fatty today, loads of scrapes and scratches, so having a new lick of paint on her. She's a 2011 fatty, classed as a classic now, not many around, as she was Salsas first run of fat bikes without alternator dropouts, high front end and very old school Kona Cindercone feel to her. When you run -7* stem, 70mm and 720mm bars.....feels very old school xc. Was thinking of lilac, purple, magenta or even girly pink !!! just for the fun of it.

 @SEADEVIL: you are right on PB...and sadly scammers look for easiest, kindest souls to plunder... scum.
Sounds like a tasty project can’t wait to see it! I remember I was managing the shop when Kona just about came out and the cinder was a hot seller. That was way back when the hei hei was titanium. Ahh the good old days bro. Speaking of that... I just got 2 vintage Yeti USA built hard tails from a buddy of mine for one of my Marshall amps... pics when I can...lol. Getting ready for a long night at work, check ya later brother!
