It's not her new bike thats wrong it's mine!! (we've both just ordered new bikes). Unfortunately it's not an upgrade. In fact it's a lot cheaper (and the wrong size).

Why do people do that? If you recived bad service, then why not inform the consumer? If its slanderous I understand, but messing up a new bike order is a tad irritating, and also a saftey concern for someone else if the one sitting infront of you belongs to someone else!

I might well be naming and shaming later. However, i'm going to give them half a chance to sort it out first. As they don't actually have the bike I wanted in stock anymore it isn't looking too promasing.0

That's even better. Make them give you the next bike up, or when it come back into stock make them throw in loads of free stuff.

GF3 - if they much you about get on to your local trading standards, they'll sort you out. You have more rights than you think in this situation, have a read of this:

the bike shop would have to PROVE that they have not made a mistake (and <b>never </b>do) for it to become a libel legal matter. so basically you can say what you like. name and shame please.
