You might consider riding it by Cranky LBS guy and showing him the sale he lost out on . . .

even better, take it in the shop and buy a 3/4 inch screw from him! (make sure he sees your new bike!)

Riding by, taking the bike into the shop -- I don't think it's going to make a bit of difference. The initial conversation happened on the phone. I don't recall seeing that she ever went into the store and actually met the guy...

Congrats on the new bike FlGal: she is a beaut!! I hope the 2 of you have many happy miles together!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

I think she was as unhappy about his cranky attitude as his opinion, and she did come here to ask could he possibly be right. But even though it seems like he may have been, it would have been better if he'd not been so cranky that she didn't want to spend a penny in his shop!
That's a beautiful bike.

yes, but I'm the type of person that would take my bike in, introduce myself as the person on the phone that he tried to talk out of the WSD bike, and proceed to tell him what an idiot he was for doing that, since he lost out on a sale and a potential customer for gear, etc. And then I might tell him he might think about what his customers want rather than shove his own opinions down people's throats. He might make more sales that way! Originally Posted by Kano

Now what would make this ESPECIALLY fun would be if this cranky bike dealer also sells this same bike! Originally Posted by midgetcycler
