In fact, ericlambi, how quickly does Brad's new stance that I was not upfront about being an original owner, crumble under its own weight when we talk about how fiercely they are supposed to know and tend to their customers? How is it possible that is even the case when he had already sold me a variety of replacement products for the used bike I had ordered? Are Dimond owners regularly calling and ordering a new uncut seatpost, a set of cable guide doors, a bottom bracket, and calling asking about headset sizes and setups? The fork issue didn't come about till well after all of these exchanges had happened. How does that stack up?
The fact that you have the ability to contact him on the weekend implies that maybe you are friends or at least reasonably close acquaintances. If that's the case, I understand your feeling compelled to believe him over some dude on the web. Unfortunately for him, that story just doesn't stack up at all.
