well, he was very nice and agreed to change my bill. He admitted that he must have spaced it out, he was making a beautiful bike, not listening to me.

ouch. anyway, he said he hoped I would grow to like the bike. Of course I do, it's gorgeous. and the price is better now.
thanks everyone. boy, got my stomach all riled up over this! and the guy was as sweet and non confrontational as one could hope.
