Dealing with reluctant measurers..

[highlandsflyer]

Pulling my hair put trying to get a seller to measure a frame properly. Any advice?

 

[widowmaker]

Anyone local who could check it out ?

 

[highlandsflyer]

I am.. ..but that would defeat the purpose.

Is it that they just don't want to, or have no idea? I have sometimes just asked for bb-saddle tip, saddle tip to bars, and BB to bars. Only works if a complete bike, but gives a good idea of if I can make it work

Got a side on pic? I bet the collective could guess it to within <1cm.

I've taken a screenshot of a frameset a seller has had for sale and marked on the screenshot where to measure. Trying to explain to some folk who don't know much about bikes about what measurements you want can be hard work.

I am just amazed when someone can't seem to find a tape measure, or can't be bothered. What is it with people advertising things and then seeming like they care not about selling them? That goes for so many occasions; though this is local. I still won't go and do their work for them.

The quality of the seller is an important part of the value of the transaction

There's s lot of stuff i don't buy cos the seller is clearly a moron.

(No offence intended to any genuine morons obvs)
