Hey guys I must say in public,......................This guy Frans has Cecile fuming! If some of you has made contact with this guy and he says he's a friend of ours, well lets say he not! A guy who is to be working for you and goes out to try to buy certain stocks from under you is no friend. Also those MAVIC SSC rims that I mentioned in the past oh say about 100 pairs......Well!.....25 pairs was going to be offered to the list for $ 60.- pp. A far cry from what they are currently seeling for. An offer as like the MAFAC RACER brakesets. Well this guy Frans slipped half from under us. So to say the seller wasn't so honest as well. Yeh! Yeh! I have 100 pairs for you, when I arrive only half is there! Hey! You said 100 pairs. oH!.......I sold a few to Frans, he couldn't take anymore because his car was full. As it turn out the old man let it slip out on our next visit, I sold half to Frans. Hey! we made a deal. Oh well such a life dealing with old bke stuff. Frans states he's selling some of his collection. He had no collection I bought up what little small parts Campagnolo parts he had left laying around, nut and bolt and a few odds and ends about enough to fill 2 shoe boxes. Yep! That's about all he had to sell 2 shoe boxes worth.
Goes to show you how low a guy can go! The last time we saw this fellow it was over lunch and I was paying! He had the nerve to say since we are talking about work then this is work and I SHOULD BE GETTING PAID FOR IT AS WELL! A big cool aid smile going accross his face like a kid in a candy store..............At that moment I was saying ths is it, nuf of this guy. To top it off when sitting down he grabbed a umbrella away from a few other people who were well into their lunch. Cecile and I looked at each other and there was a lot of high eyebrows. At that moment we knew he was gone.............110% NO CLASS! He's like all of the so called other Dutch who offer their help only to have them try to take you're livelyhood from you.
He's lucky that he not carring a ''PIG SKIN!'' on the other side!
Yeh! Yeh!...................Venting!...............This why I just might join a American style football team overhere, no mercy! This is where I'll be letting off some steam!..................LIKE BIG TIME!
