If they are REAL early D spokes they don't need grinding....how were they advertised ?

They were not advertised as early. I asked specificaly if they were. He did not know. I had a very knowlegable member here look at the pics. The member didn't see the grinding in the pics either. The seller said he didn't see the grinding. It is a lot of grinding. All the spokes have about a half inch ground off. Horrible job. If the seller didn't see it, I would have to classify him as legaly blind. I spoke to him on the phone. He said he will eat the shipping to me, but not the return shipping. Rick, that sounds like a good way to business. I wish all sellers were like that.

Tony,

I know it's a bitter pill to swallow, but in this day & age of the internet and routine cross-country shipping, it's the cost of doing business Remember, the seller has also spent $105 on shipping and is back to square one. If he was at all knowledgeable, he should have been able to see this grinding and should have informed you of it before any money changed hands. If he was just a dishonest jerk he would probably not even offer to refund your purchase price.

Tony,

-------Not saying its right, but be thankful you dont own those chunks of aluminum. I hear stories all the time where sellers change thier phone numbers and simply become completely unresponsive. Im honestly surprized that he is going to do what he says hes going to. What a statement about the state of things!..........Bill S
