Well, this is awkward...
I bought this bike yesterday. After joining the forum, this was the first thread I find and obviously it caught my eye. I was about to take some pics of the bike and post it up here as my introductory post to the forums. Doing so would would have been lacking tact with me at least coming forward to explain the situation.
FWIW, I had no idea I was buying it out from under someone. As a buyer, I hate when that happens to me, especially if I advise that I am commited to buying. The seller made no mention that anybody else was interested. I initially messaged him around 10:30 yesterday morning, so clearly you had already been talking to him based on the time stamps of your posts here. The seller said he was working until 5pm, so I messaged him around 4:30 and he advised I could come over to check it out.
I hope you aren't too upset about it. I do still intend to post up some pictures on the forum, but wanted to advise you of this situation instead of you maybe just stumbling on my forum thread.
Thank you and hope you understand.
