Re: Kirk magnesium frames
Thanks for the insight everyone. I guess I've had one of those itches to scratch since having a factory tour in the late 80s but didn't really take the opportunity to evaluate a Kirk against a conventional (back then) steel frame. I'm not an engineer so I have no answer to many of the criticisms of ...

Kirk magnesium frames
Does anyone have any knowledge or expertise on Kirk magnesium frames from the 80s/90s? I have one from the era between Kirk and Dawes and you don’t need to repeat all the horror stories! I have heard most of them. But some people rate them highly apparently and I was wondering whether to start ridin...

Re: A salutary tale......caveat emptor
PayPal provides guarantees in the event that items are not as described... I'm pretty sure they won't guarantee that two individuals agree on the definition of subjective terms about an item's condition. I don't see it as the role of the forum's moderation team either. The idea that something is ab...

Re: A salutary tale......caveat emptor
If you are trying to help folks for the future OP, could you perhaps answer my questions above about the seller's track record on here. Must say in various dealings on here I have had only good to great experiences. (well apart from one where I sold something cheap to someone I later suspected of b...

Re: A salutary tale......caveat emptor
I’m sure that the seller has moved on without any feeling of regret or guilt. If the pictures were indeed chosen selectively then it emphasises that some form of control is a desirable outcome. But the issue is really bigger than me or my purchase, it’s about whether the For Sale forum should be ope...

The obvious risk is the fact that membership of this forum is entirely open and unchecked. Members could be anybody ... their motives, wide & varied. Without wishing to sound like what I'm going to sound like, things ain't what they used to be. If I remember correctly, there was a debate some y...

Re: A cautionary tale......caveat emptor
While not knowing the exact circumstances, I'd have thought the offer of a refund if buyer not delighted would be part of the spirit of friendliness & common interest that underlies interaction amongst members of this group... I deliberately chose not to name the other party in order to keep so...

A salutary tale......caveat emptor
Maybe a timely warning for forum users that is even more important during these strange times. This is a short story of a recent transaction during which I bought an item from another forum member. I am not going to name names or describe the item so that it can be identified but I want to highlight...

Re: Navy ships off Plymouth
A number of years ago they used to undertake radar cross section measurements off Wembury which involved the warships making 360 deg turns to determine the radar hot spots which needed to be minimised. This came after the Falklands and the experience from losing ships to Exocet.
