Is this the return of the crimped Tanasi?

[anders7777]

well that's 5 mins of my life reading this thread i'll never get back.

plus another 2 posting this i suppose.

the original owner, silly boy, but anders chill out mate, people are in such disbelief because someone would do that in the first place to a £2700 frame.

having said that, i don't think you're helping your case, selling this frame anywhere on the internet it will get noticed by most bike forum guys and this conversation will start, you're better off saying "i've been riding it as is and it's been fine but . . .etc" or on the otherhand you could get it repaired yourself then sell it and you'd probably get that money back as the frame would then be good and you wouldn't have these threads stressing you out.

remember you're asking almost a grand, that's alot of money regardless of the original price of the frame and at the end of the day it has been unprofessionally altered in quite possibly an unforgiving way to say the least regardless of the strength of titanium.

hopefully the new owner (if/when it sells) will get it sorted (regardless of whether you think it needs it or not)

Cheers - look, I'm not trying to "help my case" - I don't really give a f**k if it doesn't sell, I WANT to keep it, but bills to pay etc etc - I happen to know the original owner and he doesn't deserve all the crap thrown at him - and, MAINLY from the retrobike PEANUT GALLERY I might add - do a few searches and read all the comments when he first put it up on ebay, **** pathetic if you ask me, no class at all - so I've just come over here to set the record straight to the **** pathetic anoraks that frequent this place with their bitchyness and on and on...

Mission accomplished as far as I am concerned!

:facepalm:

i was trying to be impartial and helpful but that statement is just stupid. nothing to do with the frame damage just you confirming to everyone here that you are and idiot, i am sorry i tried to help.

you can go now.

Well well well, look at THIS thread from 2010, about this SAME frame, and look at the same old faces WHO ARE NOW BITCHING ON THIS THREAD...

ITS ******* COMICAL!!!

LMAO!

I had to re-read this.....

Interesting.....what did you do?

Take mole-grips to a £2.5K frame so you could add a massive 200mm rotor to a XC frame

Good skills..... What a chump





More like, what CLASS Mr Burgundy has...

Erm Anders, so to prove your point you show an old thread with the views of some of the most knowledgeable bike people around all saying your frame is fecked and you are stupid.

And how does this help your case exactly? :roll: :roll:

 

[jonnyboy666]

you weren't nice, you said "cheers" then launched into another censored attack on others, i called you an idiot because it suits the posts you have been making.

and i haven't been arrogant, arguably rude by calling you an idiot but not arrogant.

regards the "nonsensical" repair, if it's repaired it might be easier to sell, how is that nonsensical?

Hey anders, i think you should prove your point by taking a sledge hammer to the rest of the frame, and then riding it for the next two years.

I think that would really help it sell you know, there are simply loads of people out there who want to spend a grand on a mangled ti frame

Oh anders i forgot,

your mom

Everytime I see something like this I despair for the human race a little.

Although given the other errors of deisng Litespeed have made (the clearance issue) I guess we're lucky to have innovators like this to point us in the right direction. With his mole grips. On a 2K frame.

I have no "case" you dimbulb, I am pointing out what a shower of old fishwives you are, gossiping over a lump of metal like it was the Holy Grail - most of you pathetic anoraks have xxxx thousand posts, which I guess goes to show what kind of lives you lead -

The funny thing is that well over a ******* YEAR later it is all the same bunch of saddo no-lifes having the same bitchfest!!!!




And some of the comments are classic, one particular amoeba saying it wasn't even worth 300...

LMAO!!!

[Andy B]

It's very clear for all to see that you know nothing about frame building, or Titanium as every time someone asks you simply deflect the question with abuse, rather than a rational response to the questions

As for what I know... well I'm not trying to sell anything so I do not have to prove anything. It's up to the seller to prove his statements
