more fun at the bike shop... sigh

I have been riding my old bike for the last 2 weeks because my new Bianchi is in the shop. I paid good $$ to have the fork replaced with a new one that we can cut to a custom length so i am not feeling like my hands are going to break off.

I got a call on my phone the other day from the LBS "we cut your fork, we're ready for you to come in and try it"

So this morning I called the gal i have been working with and she said it looks like they forgot WHY i ordered the fork and it might have been cut too far down and she will call me back when she gets to the bottom of it.. that was 2 hours ago.

sigh...

The LBS is going to eat the price of that fork. Do they have another one in stock? Hope they don't make you wait much longer. What a PITA.

oh sorry mimi - it was the right leg we were supposed to remove? we forgot - so we just removed the left one - sorry!!!
(was that over the top?)
Sorry - I get really frustrated when people don't do their jobs.

thanks for the laugh Cheri.


It was a human mistake. yes if it's not right they will eat the price of that fork.

But TIME... I was really hoping to ride that bike this weekend.

Oh, that's exactly what happened to me when I built my Aegis, they didn't check me first and cut the steerer tube. Several years later I had to do what your doing, get a new fork.

My LBS does not cut steerer tubes until they are sure the customer is happy with the fit.

You know when I had bunion surgery a few years ago a nurse came in and put "yes" on my right foot and "no" on my left. I asked her why she was writing all over my feet, and she said so the doctor operated on the correct foot.
