wow. what a bum deal. does not sound like either person is tryin to rip either off. just sounds like one of those bad situations. i think my offer if i was in the situation was to offer you 100 bucks back of your 200 bucks so that you could get the bearings and get the crank trued. but thats just my .02. i do not think anyone had or has any harsh intentions, but i would do something to make things right. before anything is done, i would certainly take keith up on taking a look yourself. he is being straight up, so double check and make some form of agreement.
