How should a bike fitting proceed? I suspect they should have done more at the outset...but maybe they can "dial it in."
In terms of negotiating the sale, what should I reasonably expect them to throw in if I pay "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price"?
If they ordered it at your request, I translate that to mean you ordered it. Assuming there was an understanding on price before proceeding, If I were the shop operator and you pulled a stunt like that on me, I'd promptly tell you to get stuffed.
