I'm being beautifully conned by a man in a bike shop in 'Scotland'

[KatyMac]

Who has the exact model I need/want for sale

And the photos he sends are from an article in the guardian from 6 years ago (thank you Google)

Presumably he is in 'Scotland' as I am in the southeast!!

How thick does he think I am?

You ARE a spoilsport @KatyMac , I was looking forward to you sending round some random Mners Dh to visit his shop. At Number 1 Scotland St, Scotland . Or is it Yemen st, Yemen?

I did actually buy a 3k bike from a man in a bike shop in Scotland. Amazed I wasn't conned looking back but it turned up in the post 😂 Plus I did google the shop and it seemed very legit!

It wasn't steve was it?

Did he send you a photo tho?

@TUCKINGFYP0 😞 sorry

He did send me a photo but wasn’t Steve. Was laidbackbikes in Edinburgh which are a proper shop and they were very helpful.

Enter the retired American Army doctor, looking like Mitt Romney

so pissed off another shop tried to pass off a different photo this one from 2019!!

FFS are customers really that stupid

Are you sure they’re not just been lazy and using stock images? Do you think they actually have the bike or do you think it’s a scam?

Stock images fair enough but cropping them to lose the logo of the magazine or page furniture is a bit pants, especially as there are really clear photos on the manufacturers page.....but they are obviously webpage photos with no background

The first guy didn't even know the bikes he said he had were disability models for people with Dwarfism (based on the size he said they were)

& this guy suggested a disability scooter as I need a low step through

& another guy said the company never made the model I want

@KatyMac there is actually a facebook page dedicated for selling and buying islabikes! www.facebook.com/groups/826309394088435/?locale=en_GB

I came on to say this! I bought an islabike off it a few years ago, from a Scottish guy (in Carnoustie, can't remember his name, Neil or Ali or something like that) it was a great price, a great bike (now on it's 2nd user) and he delivered it to my mum's in Fife for free

Also sounds like the 'CEO' needs grammar lessons 'base on our demands...'? Hmmm.

Thanks @allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld I'm in it already and another 4 or 5 groups 😊
