Not that this is any help to you but, I once travelled 9hrs (one way) in a train to buy the bike of my dreams based on internet pics and his word of pristine condition. I got there it was a piece of junk & not as described. I didn't say a word to him when I saw it, I just turned & walked away, shoulda seen his jaw drop as I walked ... thats wat u should have done when the deal wasn't rite ! still sorry to hear, I hope it is a happy outcome, we all make mistakes
