I have been waiting nearly three months to receive a bike I bought from Carsten under his previous cyclo-24 ebay name. I thing the cyclo-network name is a partnership of two or more people. I have just bought some more items from them and the emails get sent from someone named Matthias. He admitted in the last one that he found the aforementioned bike still in their warehouse and apologized profusely, and promised to send it out asap with the new stuff (two Eddy Merckx frames and some shoes) and then I could pay for the Eddys after they arrived. I will post an update when/if that happens. I had favorable dealings with him on several occasions in the past including buying my wonderful Hetchins MOD a couple years ago which went flawlessly, so I can't help but think there are extenuating circumstances to his recent failings. From one angle I heard something about a death in the family but that is only a rumor. I am keeping an open mind at this point, as they already have my money for the bike and what else am I gonna do? I never bought into those grab bags. I don't know what that was all about. Seemed like a dumb idea at the time.
