I just bought a new Mongoose Tyax Super 2007!

managed to track one down in a LBS for £320. Hydraulic brakes, XCR RL 100mm with lockout, SRAM. Pick up Thursday

I went into Halfords in Perth and was routinely ignored by staff even tho i was looking around the bikes for 10 minutes. Many bike shops I called re their websites did not actually have the bikes they advertised (and seemed miffed when I called them on it). Evans had no idea when they can deliver bikes even if you pay £15 priority. My own lbs were ok but did not really try and get my requirements and were keener just to upsale and offered no incentive to buy.

My point kind of is, apart from being happy about my new mtb, is that bike shops would seem not that bothered about selling bikes - or is it just me?

wiggle and sunset do the best bike pictures btw

about 65% off all bike shops i visit, the staff CBA, i used to work for a major retailer, with a lot of checks and mystery customers to see whats going wrong for the customers


halfords staff, ignored me for 15 minutes, guess they knew i only had £400 to spend

they ignored me when i went in there but as soon i went in with my dad they could get over quick enough.

they were surprised when it was me asking about diferent things and when i coughed up cash
