Horrendous trader. I purchased what I was told was a great condition, pampered, kept in a climate controlled environment Santa Cruz Heckler with a King hubset and King Titanium headset. What I received was a corroded POS that has little to no value. All the bearings need to be replaced. No King rear hub, the King Titanium headset is actually just a regular King with seized bearings. The fork and headset were corroded together. I ask for a partial refund, he acknowledges the damage and after a couple of emails agrees to a partial refund. He writes he'll mail me a money order before he goes on vacation for two weeks. The next day I received an email that I should have known about the damages and the different parts, because the bike was used and he's no expert( but, a former bike cop??)

So to all Buyers Beware of Dan Raymond in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. A true horrendous trader.

why a partial refund?? Is he a former cop or a cop who used to ride a bike? WHy a horrendous trader? If your description is accurate, he sounds like he cheated you pure and simple.

Partial refund= cost of replacing headset, bottom bracket and pivot bearings, but also the balance on the value of the parts he advertised and what was sent.

This guy talks out of both sides of his mouth. One instance he's a former bike cop who knows a lot about bikes and the next instance he's playing dumb like he knows nothing about bikes. A very shady character. Stay away.

I definitely feel cheated on this one.
